Another quiet family-oriented day, trying to meet and piece together branches of the family tree. As our trip to Madeira winds down, we are already turning nostalgic. The sites and experiences intertwine into a unique synthesis, but is full of reminders: the Bay Area of California, the hills of Northern Italy, the forests of Taiwan, and the streets of Lisbon. Donna’s connection to this island is the ‘escape clause‘ we are using to leverage this new chapter in our lives. As we continue to invest our devotion in our adopted country, Portugal continues to provide a healthy return of hope - exemplified by the warmth and openness of our new cousins. We leave with our hearts full of gratitude.
