Portugal...

I see these places in Portugal and meet these friendly yet unobtrusive people. I find myself waking up the next morning having the most restful sleep I have had in years.  Waking from this sleep, I wonder if the experiences in this country and with these people are a dream;one which I hope I can revisit at night. Portugal seems to be able to balance the ancient and the modern; the rugged and the refined; the just cool enough yet still warm climate. To me, it is the perfect, magical place.
