has a book nook with used books .

This was 3 dollars. I am enjoying it though there are echoes from another I read over the winter by Saramago.

The voices of Juan and Ricardo are similar.

That 50 something angst.

Never experienced it

I had to put the good Doctor Reis down many times.

He frustrated me.

Get this.

I got all jazzed by the setting.

Doctor Reis wandering Lisbon had me practically booking a trip.

Then our addition was underway here and most if not all of the tradesmen and workers hailed from Brazil.

Portuguese.

I could not communicate at all and that was a problem a few times.

I tried too believe me.

It just wasn’t coming.

Things happen during construction.

So I am off Portugal now and if I go anywhere it will be Spain.

So I can communicate with the locals a bit.
