I love Portugal not only because it's one of the lands of my ancestors and a place that I got to call home for a time. I love Portugal for the beautiful landscapes, the extremely hospitable people, the great food, the rich history and culture, and just the fact that there's this feeling in the air sometimes known as saudade is a longing for something and it's really a special and unique and beautiful place.
I visited Portugal for a week. It's gorgeous. I did not know how gorgeous it is. There's this wonderful feeling of aliveness in the air. The people are incredibly chill. That might be because all drugs are legal there. Everyone was really kind and really helpful. Coming from California, I really wasn't used to that, so it's really fun. There is a ton of old walls, old castle walls, just randomly next to a cafe. There's so much history right next to you. It's awesome.
