Wish we were there with you and not here with him. So many thoughts racing through my mind. How does it feel to have the distance from your home and see what we are all seeing? It seems a foolish question, but what do the local people think of US? Apart from the obvious, what do they see that we don't see? What does their history teach them, that we might learn? (Thank you for sharing your fun. You brighten my dark horizons. Keep it coming, please...)
Fantastic photos. Tha Madeira festivities were great again this year, but it's been unseasonably chilly. There were a LOT of Donald trump floats this year, not particularly flattering. Probably more than the satirical floats about the Portuguese and Madeiran politicians. Thanks for sharing the Loulé experience.
Love reading your updates and sharing the local happenings. Keeping us motivated to make our move! So refreshing to read about a culture that has fun with one another.
Yes Lucy you are correct...I corrected the post online this morning. Unfortunately, those who are reading an email sent at 6 do not see the correction.
Thank you for sharing the article. My concerns related to Bitcoin are two-fold. First, its agnostic untraceability leaves it wide open to criminal enterprises. As the article notes, it has delivered less than 1% of that to date...but Bitcoin is well below 1% of the financial marketplace. Second, I realize as an American I have not experienced the runaway inflation and deflation of 2nd and 3rd world economies...however, the price fluctuation of this market is not indicative of a sound financial market. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/forex/121815/bitcoins-price-history.asp

Great coverage of Loule floats! As an aside, there's a reason for the word "cry" in crypto currency. Stay well and keep writing.

Nanc- I think you meant there will be 4 hours between Portugal and New York until March 30.
You are correct…Thank you! I have corrected the post.
Comfortable in their male skin, these cross-dressing men reminded me of Dirty Edna's! I was so innocent:)
Yes my calling is showing young, protected, upper-class girls the grittier side of life. A night I recall fondly!
Hi Nancy, isn't the time difference 4 hrs not 6, until we go forward end of March? All the best, Lucy
