I'd be in Portugal

30DBC: What do you think you'd be doing today if this pandemic had never happened?

I'd be smelling roses or some type of flower in Portugal or Galicia.

I wanted to go back so bad. I didn't get there last year. Spring is a great time to go. My connection to Portugal and the people I met there is fading like a fado. A saudade ...

It's 13 degrees in Porto and cloudy like here. But I can get seafood, wander through old alleys, visit the market, eat a francesinha.

Maybe next year.

When I travel I get tired. It means taking a day off to do little or nothing, but at home I just get depressed after awhile.

I feel happier in Portugal.
