Thank you Rolando. It is a wonderful place. I looked up São Bento da Porta Aberta, and it also looks beautiful. I will keep it on the list to visit the next time we go back north.
Thank you so much Nneka! That means a lot! It was a crazy ride! LOL - I was thinking about LOA the whole time though and how "everything works out." I know you know what I mean. 'Tis true!
You did it! What an adventure! And (now, looking back) with a smile! And, you've learned well how it works: never be shy, just ask people. 99% will help actively, if they can or know.
By the way, the "tired traveller hotel sentence" goes: «Ela está morta.» (As in: «... morta de cansaço.» Cansaço = Tiredness). Oddly, we use the "circumstantial and temporary 'to be' verb" (v. estar) to «be dead» instead of the "permanent state 'to be' verb" (v. ser). In fact, if one's really dead, the verb is also... "estar"... I know, I know, it makes no sense... if you're dead, you're dead, it's a permanent state, no "movement". Maybe we do believe in resurrection, Hallelujah!, so... LOL But that's the beauty of it: exceptions and oddities welcome!
Thank you Marta! Yes, we did it! And with a smile. :) People were very very kind in helping us, and I think enjoyed it too! Thank you for the grammar correction. I will use it as Ela está morta from now on. :) And now I know why! Exceptions and oddities are most welcome. LOL
Thank you Brenda! And thank you so much for your support! It's definitely been an adventure the entire way. This week my friend from Livingston, Montana is coming to visit and we're going to tour around Portugal together so I'm sure there will be more fun stuff to come! I hope. Please come and visit (you and Don). We have a great spare bedroom and lots of castles to visit.
Another delightful read! I love how helpful people here (usually) are.
Indeed JD! They have been overwhelmingly helpful. Thanks for reading. I look forward to your comments!
It's a wonderful place. You have to go to São Bento da Porta Aberta

Oh! I so love your writing! I was with you on every turn searching for the office. What a ride!
