Sagres
I'm sitting on the SW corner of Europe, at the Navigator Aparthotel. I'm ooking at cabo St. Vicente, a lighthouse on a promotory, with the Med sparking in the sunlight, a cool breeze, birds are chirping in the trees around. I'm across the street from the Posouda de Infante, 120e a night, with fluffy towels. My place with kitchen is 36e a night. It's a perfect 70. It is eerily like Point Reyes. I remember an exhibit at Point Reyes about the many Portuguese settlers there. I think it shows up in the local cheeses. There is one boat sailing by and that makes me think of the history here, Henry the Navigator. St. Vicente was supposed to have washed ashore here, his corpse. It is so peaceful. All Saints Day, we honor them and so peace? Why write another word, shatter the peace. This too shall pass.
I fantasize, plan, turn over the idea of buying a house here Spend the summer here. Summers in Sagres has a nice ring. I could afford a house here? Not likely in Point Reyes. Or rent a place here this summer with side trips to Sevilla, Morrocco and Barcelona. Azores too.
