Arriving in Portugal January 25, 2019

It is Saturday January 26, 2019. It seems like Matt dropped us off at Pearson about 5 minutes ago.

In that time we have managed to get through security, wait three hours for take off, fly over The Atlantic, find our bags, internet gizmo, car and way out of Lisbon, drive 3 hours to Cabanas de Tavira, find our house, find a grocery store, find a restaurant, and go to bed.

The flight was excellent. True the seats are too small and the plane is big. The food is OK but served just as you should be going to sleep. Fortunately the Air Transat Staff did refuse to give the scammer sitting across the isle anything but a free drink, which he refused, for his claim that the dinner was not up to his standard. 

The trip could not have gone better. The house while not up to our Fripp level is excellent. It is well situated, roomy enough has heat and air conditioning and a galley much better than we expected. The town village is quaint with lots or restaurants and a small but adequate grocery store.

I am sitting at our dinning room table with the door wide open and sunlight pouring in. Kelly and I are about to go and inspect the pool and Bowling Green. Our biggest problem is should we have a sweater on or not.  Later we will go and find a store to buy a coffee pot. I said the house was perfect while I should have said it was nearly perfect.

I will leave you with some pictures.
