Portugal is holding elections today. Polls are open from 7:00 a.m., until 7:00 p.m. Electioneering is not allowed the day prior. Our guide does not expect much change to happen.
This has been a good trip for me. However, the balance between being with others and being alone is very different than that to which I've become accustomed. B y today I found myself ready for more individual experience. Said another way; my people bladder is full. This no critique of the group. All members have been pleasant, curious, prompt and cheerful...and no one has gotten lost. Our guide's use of a electronic device broadcasting to an ear piece we wear has been very helpful, especially given my compromised hearing.
My flight leaves Porto at 5:00 a.m., tomorrow (Monday) for Amsterdam. If all goes as scheduled I'll arrive in Minneapolis at 1:10 p.m. Tonight is our final meeting and dinner.
Takk for alt,
