Over the years of travel I have visited Portugal many time and when given the opportunity to live here I could not say no. Portugal is (IMHO) the best place in the world to live as the people are the friendliest, the food is fantastic and the country is beautiful.

It is funny.... I travel so much around the world and lived just down the road in Cascais but we have only been to Lisbon a few times which is just down the road from me. I guess I am going to need to make a special trip soon.

Well it is getting closer to the move time... Wonder where I will live next?

It is strange for me.... I am now one week away from moving and I do not want to go. This place has felt more like home to me than any place else in the world.
I have made so many friends and have enjoyed being here and exploring this country. I will miss Portugal and it's great people.

Well I have made it to California USA for the moment. Will write more when I get off this dialup.

Well I am still trying not to get settled here in California. It looks like I will be here a few more months and then I hope to be off to Europe again. If not I will be in Virginia.....Will just have to wait and see.

Well it is offical now. We have been in California for 5 months now so I guess we are staying here for a bit.
Please look at my Fullerton California page as this is where we are living now.

    I wish some of our low cost airlines would fly to Portugal and I could go visit this place - you make it sound very tempting!
