We had talked about traveling to Portugal for at least 15 years, often as possible winter destination. Like everyone else, we always seemed to go elsewhere--Paris, London, Rome, Vienna, Prague, Istanbul, Madrid, and Moscow, among others. I can't say that was a mistake--each is a worthwhile destination--but so is Portugal.
Today we were in search of fishing boats, which we found, along with a strong smell of glue that was being used to repair a boat. We also found raging teenage hormones, as a group of summer sailors were preparing for a day on the water. Moments before I snapped the cover photograph, these two were playful pushing and grabbing each other, but temperaments do change quickly. By tonight, I am willing to bet all be right again, with the two walking hand in hand.
Evelyn and I will be traveling to the city of Funchal on the island of Madeira off the coast of Africa today on a house hunting expedition. We have determined that this is the best place in the world to be following the nuclear war that will follow the annexation of Estonia by Vladimir Putin. Thank you President Trump. You were right: Only you, alone, could do this.
