Alison, If passionfruit is to be a guide to most things in life, including a new chapter in Portugal--then life really is kind. Hope you're well this week. Cheers, -Thalia.
Wow, this is real! It's happening! I am truly excited for you both. And learning portuguese -- what a beautiful language. I honor you following your heart.
YAY! SO GLAD to see you back in your dream place! Don't fret too much about renting, your dream is strong enough to sustain itsel fover many changes (just like you :)
Sometimes dreams don't go exactly as planned, but the dream can still come true! You WILL be moving to Portugal to start your next chapter. It's a little different than what you imagined, but maybe this gives you time to find your PERFECT house without the time pressure. I know you and Jeff will be so happy there and I'm so excited for you!
Uh oh! We may be onto something. I was excited to learn the word for them — lingueirão — and thought I was so cool when I ordered them. Perhaps I got my comeuppance.
What a great adventure! Good for you for going for your dreams. The bumps in the road are part of life no matter where you live. Hope we keep hearing about your life in Portugal. All the best to you and J.

Thanks for your steadfast support! Hope to see you at the meetup in a few weeks.
“Trust the unknown” is one of my mantras. All will turn out well.
The pics are beautiful.
I wish I could have alcohol. Had to quit after cancer.
Wow - quit for good? Alcohol or not, hope to see you at the Seattle Substack gathering. Thanks for connecting me to Mikaela.
I will be there. 🥰

The last time I was in Portugal I had the gnarliest food poisoning and I ALSO ATE RAZOR CLAMS 🤨
