Hi Ginger Bastos
I just wrote to Mamacats a little while ago, Anyway I left Portugal when I was 3 yrs. old. My Wife & i and our two adult sons moved here from New jersey 4 yrs. ago, we were living in the Aveiro area where we have family but we are now in the Algarve where we opened up a little Children's clothing shop, we found that if one speaks English we felt more at home here (our opinion).
So it's nice to know that there is someone else out there going through some of the things we're going through.

All the best
