Portugal

Portugal is a place of dreams
It's natural landscapes covered in
green and yellow
Moderate tempertures all year long
Houses built of dark and light stone
Friendly people greeting you with Benvindos!
Making foreigners feel right at home.
The food alone is worth the trip,
with the freshest sea food
sweet bread, and the finest wines.

Folklore, Carnival, Parades!

One can forget their troubles
in the enchanting beach resorts,
azure waters of the sea, and the silky sands.
It is a place known for the Lusitania horses,
Christopher Columbus's homeland.
Bullfights of the Terceira island
villages with Farmers, Fisherman, Craftsmen.
I am proud it is my families culture.
