glad you are enjoying your stay. i know new york but i liked phoenix and boston more. central park was ok! you may be retired, but not incapacitated. pass your knowledge or skills to next generation! it is greatly appreciated. stay strong 🤠😎
You know, here we say that -" Portugal estranha-se e depois entranha-se "- so in the first glance you find it odd and after a while it became part of your soul-" Anyhow i found that you look a lot more relaxed as time goes by living here.
I’m glad I spent the last 3 summers just camping out in all the best parks, letchworth, Robert tremen, Watkins glen, where a bear poked his nose in my tent screen window around 5a.m. as I was stirring in my tent. He just paused for a few moments & rambled on. What a thrill. But I lay there trembling for a bit after s/he left. 😅. New York State has some gorgeous forests & so many beautiful waterfalls. Omg. I was going to explore the Catskills next, but I am thrilled to hear & see the equally gorgeous places in Portugal so I will be bringing my most expensive gear with me. It’ll be tricky but we will see.
Thanks for watching and that sounds great! If you’re a hiker, you may want to consider a stop in Madeira. Incredible beauty and hiking! Of course, mainland Portugal has great hiking too!
I researched beach communities on the east coast a couple years ago but there were none in my income bracket. I am so ecstatic to be relocating to Portugal. I am from the capital district in New York State, & have been to the city many times. I love it & it was a bit of a bumpy culture shock ride from Troy, ny to there. But I’ve grown to love it more each time I go down & explore it. I’m hoping I can make one more visit before I leave for good. I love hearing your experiences of places I’ve been & plan to go.
As a woodworker and guitar builder, im having a hard time find good quality, but affordable tools. There is no Woodworker's Warehouse, Woodcraft Store, Harbor Freight, etc. And the quality of appliances, etc, is inferior. You gotten love their "Easy Bake" ovens. Like the ones our daughter's played with when they were young.
Oh good, that’s my fear too, will I be bored. I need things to do. I want to catch a flight to explore London at some point. But I love hearing about the many, many things to do in Portugal,the history & old towns are on my list already to explore. I am so excited listening to yous. I love your matching hair too 😂. Mine is about the same. I used to think was I was real young, I don’t want gray hair, as I got older I was hoping for white hair, I love love white hair, but next I love silver hair. I got silver & a tiny of white, it’s different shades like yours. You guys rock your hair. Nice styles. I hope I run into to you guys over there one day. Thanks for another informative video.
Thanks for watching! While there is a lot to explore in Portugal, we have taken advantage of easy access to other countries here and have been to London, Dublin, Amsterdam, etc. It’s fun to be able to go to these places for a weekend and not have jet lag!
Thanks for watching. In many places around every city and village there are disposal and recycle bins. You take your trash and recyclables to the bins. (Ours are just across the street from us.). No cost and no limit.

Yes, art supplies are ridiculous here. Yes, tipping here is a huge thorn in my side. I have no problem with it save for the corporations getting away with paying their wait staff a respectable wage & putting it us to fill in for them. It irks me to no end. & the resentment it causes. It destroys the whole experience for me. I’m struggling but expected to give these greedy corporations bigger profits. Forgive me my negativity today, I’m tense about Inauguration Day tomorrow. Super stressed. I cannot wait to get out of here for a million reasons.
Thank you both, super helpful!

Thanks and we agree. That’s why we’re The Unretirees… our tanks are not even close to being empty! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching. We loved our time in NYC and we love our time here, too! Best of luck on your move.

Thanks for watching! There are some luthiers in Portugal so it may be helpful to contact one or more and ask where they get their tools.

How expensive is garbage collection in your area, and how many times per week they pick it up?
Garbage collection ? Expensive ?

Thanks for watching and it takes some getting used to that the price is the price. Prices include tax already and generally no tipping. Best of luck!
Sounding better all the time. I'm just outside LA... mass exodus has begun
Thanks for watching! We loved living in California for many decades but are happy to be here!
