So loved this post, relating to many of our own first year Portugal experiences, with patience being an excellent practice…This was priceless, ”Other than that, I can only hope to continue to enjoy each day, learn from the hard moments, and cherish the memories our family is creating while on this adventure. And, maybe drink more water and less wine but let’s not track that one, okay?” Many blessings to you and your beloved ones in 2025.

Thanks, Maria. What a year we've both had. I've loved following your journey. And, that "more water, less wine" resolution is a rough one here in Portugal where wine is often cheaper than water. Wishing you a wonderful year!
