Sometimes it's fun to daydream of life in another place and time.
Not that I'm not happy with my life the way it is ... but sometimes daydreamin' is fun!
Here goes.
By the way, all the pics are from my recent travel in Portugal in the Douro Valley.
I'll be watching for you as you come by train
waiting here in the coolness of the one room station
We'll stroll down the town's small main street
And you'll chuckle at the thought of me in this small village
far removed from my once
comfortable life
We'll grab my car, the one you said was not my style
And begin our short journey to my home
You will be surprised at its modesty
You always figured me for a girl in something like this,
but you had me figured wrong
I'll make us some coffee and we'll walk among my
young vineyard
And I will tell you of my dreams of how my young grapes
will someday turn into a strong vineyard
and folks will come from around the world
to taste my fine port wine
and from this fine business that I have created
I will expand my small home
so family and friends will come and visit
like you
And we'll stroll among the olive trees or
cruise in my boat
But that is all to come
and the day will be drawing late, my friend,
so we will sit and have dinner
talk and laugh
and sit in wonder
of the
of the
beauty that surrounds us
In the morning, I will drive you back to the train station
and bid you goodbye
until the next time
Wasn't that fun!
What's your daydream?
What's your daydream?
PS. No Portuguese grapes were injured in this daydream.

I'll take that daydream anytime! With my recent Portuguese Festa weekends and your photos, I SO miss the Azores!

Did you like Portugal. I have never been there I'm always in Spain (no I have been in Madeira and it belongs to Portugal:) I think your day dream is also my day dream.
Thank your for the tour round Portugal ~ I've never been. It's a beautiful place and your photos are great!

Looks to me like that was a nice place to see. Never had any thought of going to Portugal, but by your Images it looks great. I've been all over the Pacific while in the Navy, but never in Europe.
