RE: Paradise in Portugal

in #esteem6 years ago

I think I was there in early June. It was a wonderful place to stay. You eat dinner each night with the other guests and I made friends that I kept in touch with and later visited in France and another couple from England that I visited for a few days and then they flew over here stayed with me.

Sort:  

holy cow! well I don't know if I want to make THAT good of friends. lol. No, that is truly remarkable!

We all just really connected and stayed in touch by email. Gray was retiring and wanted to leave London and buy a small house in the south of France. He sent me property listing for all the places that came up, so when he finally did buy a place I felt part of the process, so of course when I was invited to stop by while I was traveling in France I did! When he knew I was coming he invited the other couple that we had met in Portugal and they flew over to see Gray's house and surprise me by being there, too! It all led to several more visits, and lots of emails back and forth. But sadly several life changes left everyone moving in different directions and we lost touch. It's funny how people come and go in your life

that is such a cool story Melinda! It IS rare that people stay in touch their whole lives but somehow most people don't, they come and go like you said.
