I've started a new YouTube channel called Everyday Expats, on which I will chronicle my day to day experiences moving to, and living in Portugal. Hope you like it. www.youtube.com/@everydayexpats/videos

Good luck in Portugal, I am a part Time expat in Versailles France and we love it! Your weather is probably better down there, but my wife's favorite city is Paris, so we moved close to it. your area looks like it is all new construction from your video. ours is older and we are just off a small shopping street. And great public transportation, so do not need a car.

This area is a big vacation and expat hotspot and there is much new apartment construction going on. We are searching for a more suitable city - one that is more “authentic“ Portugal.

Dying a slow death. My brother-in-law said my sister (who is a doctor) cried when she heard my diagnosis 30 years ago -- she said it's worse than death, just physically miserable until I die a "natural" death. But I'm still chugging along. Thumb is still not where it needs to be in order to play with stamps, but working on the physical therapy. But it's having to "quit" Dr Pepper that really hurts!!!

I was diagnosed with terminal stupidity shortly after birth, but I fooled everyone so far...

If I got diagnosed with terminal stupidity, my sisters would probably say that doctor was spot on!
