Portugal

From these steep alleys to the festive facades of the churches, from the bustle of living to the flashes of this colorful country, to the detriment of the economic crisis, there are lessons that span any age.
A country with a hundred thousand facets, full of smiles and good humor.
Everything seduces, everything bewitches
As if happiness were there, at hand to sow, in a gesture as simple as picking a daisy in the field to decorate the lapel.
And that light with a big "L".  Which fills us.  A clarity that surrounds us.
Nothing that makes us feel fully alive.
Each locality calls for us, be it a ruin, a peculiar bell, the colorful doors of Porto, the Venetian charm of Aveiro, the small coastal fishing ports, the fortified cities with majestic walls like Coimbra, the scribed cities like Sintra  , from the hills of Lisbon, and from all the places yet to be discovered.  Like so many other new landscapes that delight and quench me.
