Love the turtle. 😊 Seems like you're having some great adventures. I remember that atmosphere you describe of different ways of life kind of blending together from when I was in Tanzania on a mission trip back in 2009. It was a good learning experience. I haven't met any other Americans here. I was at a shopping center in a nearby town and people quickly walked by speaking English....woooow Americans...😊 I did not awkwardly chase them. Lol.

Sounds like a great trip! I have so much catching up to do with your posts; I started working as an assistant in a first grade classroom and they are putting me thru the wringer! They’re my own personal Lord of the Flies. 😂 They are such sweet and sensitive kids with a ton of energy!

Anywho, you hit two of my husband’s “favorites”: Out of Africa and West With the Night (he’s a pilot). He’s still dismayed I haven’t read Markham’s book yet. 😇

Not sure if it’s still on Netflix, but there was a fantastic Spanish series called “The Time In Between” (Spanish: El tiempo entre costuras) that took place in 1930s & 40s Madrid. The heroine also ventures to Lisbon and Morocco, so there’s some nice footage of Lisbon and Cascais. You reminded me of it.

Envious of your adventures! Say olá to Portugal for me. 😊
