  7. When I saw your first picture, I thought you were in Bermuda! But then I went back and read your previous posts – how exciting to be in Portugal. In a strange coincidence, I was at an event last night and one of my friends told me that I need to put Portugal at the top of my travel destinations list. It seems like you are having a wonderful time. The grilled ham and cheese reminds me of the choices in Irish pubs!
