Thank you for this exquisite piece of writing, which I know I'll savor many times. My husband and I also arrived in Portugal having never set foot here, to the horror or amazement of many. Reading some of your experiences made me pump my fist in agreement. YES! She gets it! Other times, my age and stage of life give me a different perspective. But we are both strangers in a strange land. I'll enjoy reading your story for as long as you wish to share it.

I’m so grateful to have found your blog. Wise, comforting and perceptive words to inspire those who wish to do just what you’ve done.

My husband and I are just wrapping up a 9 month road trip around America and it’s become clear that it’s our Farewell Tour. I feel nothing but dread about the future of this country. After the latest unimaginable- anywhere-but-here school shooting horror we’re done. What you wrote about not having to be right in the midst of the news cycle here really resonated.

Will now go back to your first post and learn how you came to this wonderful milestone in your life. Thank you.
