Okay, I am going to do a chronological zig zag. And there are no photos just a story.
Remember how I mentioned that we are not watching TV nor reading newspapers because we are not fluent in Portuguese. Well that offers a twist as we did not know until Saturday night at 6:00p that Hurricane Leslie was a ‘thing’ let alone heading towards us in Aveiro, Portugal 😳 yikes. We are okay as the real damage was south of us about 20miles – whew. A lot closer than we would have liked. The good news is that we stayed in a guest home with a lovely and seemingly responsible family. And the home was built well. As the rain & wind came in – the gusts were crazy strong and we were safe. We are very lucky as our first lodging choice was at the beach and they sustained significant damage. There was no availability at the beach – whew- and so our story is safe and a bit boring. In this case, just the way we liked it.
