    Congratulations and best of luck on your new big adventure. Portugal is an incredible country with absolutely amazing people everywhere. My parents just returned to Canada after spending the last month in our guest house and they are now considering retiring here. OH, and if you like festivals...Tomar will be having their Festival of Trays this year. It's held every 4 years and in typical Portuguese style - they go all out. We went to our first Carnaval in Torres Vedras (wild party scene) and in 5 days :) the chocolate festival returns to the castle in Obidos. We LOVE all the festivals here...for wine, for pears, for cheese, for chocolate and of course both the religious and medieval festivals too. Music too. Have fun and happy building.

      That's wonderful to hear. Yes, so many things to look forward to. We went to the medieval festival in Silves last summer and were super impressed. You named so many of the things we love! 😍🇵🇹

    You should have cleaned the layer of mold off before starting the van. That mold can easily get into your lungs and cause issues! The whole van needs to be wiped down with something to kill the mold. Vinegar might do it, also bed linens and all linens need to be washed. You should completely air out van and run the heat and or ac for a period of time before spending overnight there! Your lungs are important!
