Ó mar salgado, quanto do teu sal São lágrimas de Portugal! Por te cruzarmos, quantas mães choraram, Quantos filhos em vão rezaram! Quantas noivas ficaram por casar Para que fosses nosso, ó mar! Valeu a pena? Tudo vale a pena Se a alma não é pequena. Quem quere passar além do Bojador Tem que passar além da dor. Deus ao mar o perigo e o abismo deu, Mas nele é que espelhou o céu.
Que história bonita! Tantos os portugueses que largaram as suas raízes em busca de uma vida melhor. Que saibamos honrar, nós portugueses, aqueles nos procuram em busca do mesmo. Com simpatia, bondade e gratidão
You're a truly really Portuguese!! Hopefully you've find it! Amazing videos 👏!! Hugs from Portugal, this little little country (that in the past) was the biggest on the world 🙏
I came over to New Jersey from Portugal in 1966. I applaud you and your family for researching your roots! Im sure you've seen the other messages to look into church records if you can locate a local parish, its probably the best archives! But remember, your roots are multi branching, your history is in Portugal, Brazil, and the US. All equally important! The more information you gather, the richer you become!
more humans have died than are alive, and so much is lost. for this heartbreakingly brief moment, we can reach out and find and grab onto the threads of the past, in dusty books in the places they survive. i'm really happy i saw this, thanks for posting claire!!

next time u visit Lisbon tell me. I'm a guide in the city, i can show for u and your family the bests parts and funny histories about the city and the general history of Portugal. Epa, mas por que estou a falar em ingles ? Assim como voce, tenho ancestrais por aqui. Felizmente por meu avô ainda ser vivo na época, fomos capazes de reunir a sua documentação e conhecer parte da familia que se mantivera por aqui. grande abraço pra voce e toda a familia
Really enjoyed your journey, beautiful video, thank you so much for sharing. I too am searching for my antepassados in Portugal. Some of them went to Brazil. Many went to Goa long before the rest went travelling the world. Have just come back from a road trip around NW Portugal. Found 3 Figueiredo churches and a few places called Figueiredo but still have no idea from where my family truly had roots. But Portugal is so beautiful. It was a fabulous trip.
WELCOME TO PORTUGAL 🇵🇹 WELCOME TO YOUR ROOTS, YOU PUT TEARS 😭 ON MY EYES OF JOY 🤩 SO HAPPY FOR YOUR FAMILY. AMAZING VIDEO! MY FAMILY AS MOST SIMILAR STORY, MY GRAND MOTHER WAS BORN IN BRASIL BUT SHE WAS DECENDENT FROM MADEIRA ILAND FROM PORTUGAL. BUT IN BRASIL SHE HAD A ENCONTER WITH A AMERICAN, THEY MARRIED AND WENT BACK TO MADEIRA, THEN THEY WENT TO USA BUT MY GRANDMOTHER 👵 STAY IN MADEIRA FALL IN LOVE 🥰 WITH MY GRANDFATHER FROM MADEIRA. BUT MY GRAND GRAND PARENTS STAY IN USA, THEY LOST CONTACT WITH THE REST OF THE FAMILY, AND I CAME TO USA 🇺🇸 NOW LIVING. HOW LIVE IS THE ROAD BETWEEN MADEIRA BRASIL AND USA, AND ALSO THAT MY GRAND GRAND PARENTS WERE JEWS.
É com um enorme prazer que vejo que a Portugalidade se mantem viva nos vossos corações, é um orgulho para mim e para vocês, parabéns, sorte saúde e fortuna.
I must say I usually don't comment on videos but this one popped up on my recommended and I'm glad I watched. Like many other comenters said, you seem to be Portuguese and Brazilian at the same time. I'm really glad you found the records you were looking for and your love for your parents is really beautiful and contangious. As a portuguese person, for some reason this video left me emotional and proud of my origins. I'm currently imigirated in another country and this video reminded me of a lot of things I love about my country, and like you said, just like your great grandmother hoped to return one day, I sure hope to as well.
It is so nice to watch your video again, so excited. It has been a long time. You are so lovely to travel with your parents. Portugal is on my wife's and my travel bucket list. Thank you for the beautiful video.
parabéns pela motivação e resiliencia, isto é ser humano, é ter personalidade e caracter, mais uma vez os meus parabéns, vocês são o significado de familia
I found my great-grandfather's emigration record to Brazil through My Heritage, including the ship. I also found birth records from a few of my ancestors (lots of Annas de Jesus and Marias de Jesus too). Usually the districtal archives have their collections online and you can research a lot from home, that's where I found most of the info and for free. Good luck on your journey
There are SO many Ana de Jesuses, we actually found one in the boat records who went from the same port in Portugal to the same port in Brazil and settled in the SAME NEIGHBORHOOD as my great grandmother. My mom prematurely got excited she had found the records but it ended up not being her.
@@ClaireTrips I feel you, there are so many and I have been through the same! You mentioned being curious about why your relative left Portugal - there is a historical collection by Maria Lamas written in 1948 called As Mulheres do Meu País (The Women of My Country) and she describes the brutal conditions in which they lived. If you're interested you can buy it online in the portuguese newspaper Público 🙂
for a future note: in small towns in Portugal the central roads were made to horses or cows carts, cars not exist in that time, so enter with a car in small towns could be very tricky if you are not aware of that.
Thank you for sharing so much of your family with us. It was lovely getting to see more of everyone's personality on this trip. Congratulations on finding the answers you were looking for!! Also omg, I want all the food at that bakery...
Hi there! I'm Portuguese, I'm from Aveiro, but my family is originally from Viseu as yours was. I started searching and building my family tree some time ago. Found a lot of my ancestors on the online digitalized documents, but unfortunately had to stop my search at my great-grandfather because I discovered he emigrated to Brazil. In his passport it says he was going to Minas Gerais. The sad part is that I couldn't find the boat's name, but your video gave me hope, and I think I'm gonna keep searching. I am very curious to discover if I have family on the other side of the Atlantic. I also found that one of my dad's uncles went to Brazil after my great-grandfather. The eldest members of my family say that we never heard of them after they went away, but I hope that one day I will find what happened and be able to track them. When I searched for my family, I was very surprised with the number of people that emigrated to Brazil. I mean, I was aware of this migration period, but I would never guess it were so many people from this area in Viseu and Aveiro. I think almost everyone here has an ancestor that went to Brazil. Really nice video! I felt every victory in your search because I know the hard work and the difficulties it envolves. Here's another interesting fact. Some of those who were able to make a fortune in Brazil and come back to Portugal, used to build enormous houses, with a peculiar and classical architecture and an exuberance that stood out of everything around. I live in a city called Águeda which is known for having a lot of these. Some are in ruins, but a good part of them are still amazing and renovated. They are known as "Casas de Brasileiro de Torna-Viagem" which means houses of the brazilean that came back.
I missed the premier but I just watched the whole video and let me tell you.. What a beautiful family you guys are. Claire, your are so talented it's hard for me to put it in words. Your ability to tell this story was amazing. I see where you got your charisma from. Your parents seem to be best friends and love each other's company. They are smart, charming, friendly and loving. You're blessed to have them. Thanks for sharing this moments, friend. ❤
Muito bom! A grande maioria dos portugueses que se mudaram par o Brasil são Transmontanos. O norte era mais pobre e buscavam uma vida melhor. Vinham com contratos de trabalho para substituir os escravos recém libertos! Foi assim com os meus avós, de Vinhais.
Amazing video, exploring some less touristy parts of my country, which I really appreciate! Great job on the filmmaking and general exploration of Portugal! The only thing I might say is, if you're ever back in Porto, give the Parque da Cidade a second try, it seems you went to the least interesting part of it. Might help to get a local to take you around there, the Avenida do Brazil, Castelo of Queijo, Foz Velha and Cantareira. I'll even volunteer!
Muito bom o video. Muito obrigado por o partilhar E desejar o melhor para a vossa familia, em especial a Mãe, que sentiu as suas raízes nos ossos quando visitou Penalva e lavou os pés no Dão, o que oferece dos melhores vinhos do mundo. E filhos
Wow! I'm in tears here. What a wonderful trip with so many exciting moments for you and your mum. I'm so glad to see that you've got the answers for all these years of search. I've enjoyed every single minute of this video. 😊😊
What you did was truely epic. A nice good adventure to have with your family. What a gift to the heart. 3:25 "bolinhos de bacalhau" = "codfish cakes" 7:36 "mixuruca" Brasilian word. I would say it originates from Tupi language (native language from Brazil); and "pavilhão": I have no idea why your mom thought it would be as big as a stadium (estádio). In 1998, Portugal organized the Expo98. Each country that participated built a building for an exposition on their country. Those buildings were called "pavillions" and the name stayed since then for buildings with permanent thematic expositions. The most common used for the name though, is for indoor sports and gymnastics "pavilhão desportivo". 19:00 "Palácio da Bolsa" not a church. Think of it like a Guild of merchants headquarters. It translates like "palace of stockmarkets". 26:10 omg, I hate those narrow roads in small mountain villages. I can totally undesrtand your problem there :D 30:32 "fonte das lágrimas" Oh, wow, I just live around the corner. So close to the fountain actually. You have to go inside the "quinta das lágrimas". too bad it was closing. 32:20 I actually work close by. nice!
As soon as I started watching the video, it is clear that you are really Portuguese, but after realizing that you came from Brazil, it is also clear that you are really Brazilian! And then I remembered this fact: 80% of the Brazilian population has Portuguese DNA, some more, some less.
@@JoseFerreira-vj3lq Her mother os from Brasil, her father is from US, as is she. Not Portuguese, not Brazillian.. Also its a lie that 80% Brazillians have Portuguese blood, that was the truth in 1600/1700/1800..now its less than 25%. The boggest blood mix they is African, around 48%..
I absolutely love your videos. Such a breath of fresh air and infinitely more engaging than the run of the mill travel related content that is so common on TH-cam. Don't change a single thing. ❤
History fact about bridge D.Luis I , it was made by Eiffel & Cie Founders: Gustave Eiffel, Théophile Seyrig. Seyrig , that made the Eiffel tower in Paris, he followed the same style as his master. Only seyrig coordenated that one tho.
As a Brazilian with Portuguese roots, it makes me full of joy seeing the connection we share with people around the globe through the history of Portugal. It is particularly beautiful seeing people discover the beauty of Portugal and its past and realizing how underrated it is in today's world narrative.
Your mother is so sweet and lively! I suggest you try to contact the TORRE DO TOMBO to find data about the steamship since it has data of the Immigration Services
Pasteis de nata are typical of Lisbon, even though you can find them all over Portugal. Pasteis de nata is a conventual sweet. Thank you for your video, I really liked it!❤💛💚
14:14 - The "other side" is not the other side of Porto, it's a different city called Vila Nova de Gaia. 😉 34:07 - What's famous in Belém is not the Pastel de Nata, it's the Pastel de Belém. As you noticed from the texture of the dough and the taste, they're two different things. You can compare the Pastéis de Nata amongst each other but you can't compare a Pastel de Belém with anything because they're unique.

This was so wholesome! Especially because I'm an emigrant in the UK and originally from the city of Viseu. :) One thing that made me laugh was your encounter with European bureaucracy, especially the Portuguese kind. When you don't know and you're made to feel like an idiot all the time. hahaha One thing I will say is that the online payment system for that Coimbra parking lot was on the side of the machine, with a QR code and all. ;) Thank you so much for this video, which I have found completely by accident. Um bem haja! :)
Many more coming, it took forever to finish this one but the next series from Norway should come together more quickly and we are going to Japan in November.
Hello! Love your videos :) the Bolinho de Bacalhau is not seafood, its codefish and you didnt saw how beautiful Parque da Cidade is, its a pitty :) you were just close to the parking lot. You should have walked up north from there around 5m and you would have seen forests, an amazing small village in the corner, two huge Lakes, plenty of animals :)
Hi Claire! My father is actually from Penalva do Castelo, and some of my family imigrated to Brazil. Maybe I may help you. I know that my grandfather's first love moved to Brazil and it broke his heart, wouldn't be crazy if she was your grandma!?
Hi Claire, for more information about your Portuguese ancestors, probably you need to research their local churches, check their baptism/ Christening records. Good luck.
Aveiro is not just the city. You should have went to the coastal line, to Costa Nova, for example. But yes, Aveiro is a small city and that´s why is so cool.
Hi from Cascais Portugal, if you look on your video on the side of the coin machine you have a QR code to use a app to pay from whatever you are since you have internet connection, pode encontrar esse QR codes quase em todo o territorio nacional. Beijos e boa sorte para o seu canal.
Há o bacalhau com todos, aqui temos um Porto/Lisboa com todos os ingredientes habituais, sempre com os pastéis da nata ... que já são também da nato ...?
Happy holiday and celebrations on Portugal Republic Day, today, October 5th. This day commemorates the overthrow of the monarchy in 1910 and the establishment of a republic. . It is a public holiday with schools, state offices, and some restaurants being closed.
Strictly speaking Porto is the 4th biggest city in Portugal by population. 1st) Lisbon 2nd) Sintra 3rd) Vila Nova de Gaia (here may lie the reason for the confusion. Gaia belongs to the district of Porto) 4th) Porto Waiting for the Tripeiros to launch their attack in 1, 2, 3...
32:20 I guess it's too late now, but you are not supposed to park for more than a couple minutes, maybe a couple hours in those spots. That's why it's so expensive and only takes coins.
VICTOR HUGO - The death penalty has therefore been abolished in this noble Portugal, a small people with a great history! Abolishing legal death, leaving all its rights and all its mystery to divine death, is an august progress among all. I congratulate your Parliament, your thinkers, your writers and your philosophers! I congratulate your Nation. Portugal sets an example for Europe. (…) Europe will imitate Portugal, Death to death! War to war! Hate to hate! Live life! Freedom is an immense city of which we are all fellow citizens.I shake your hand as my fellow countryman in humanity… Victor Hugo, in a letter to newspaper DN, dated July 2, 1867 Letter from writer Victor Hugo. Your noble letter made my heart beat. I knew the big news; It is pleasant for me to receive a friendly echo from you. No, there are no small peoples. But yes, little men, alas! And sometimes they are those who lead the great people. People who have despots resemble muzzled lions. I love and glorify your beautiful and dear Portugal. It's free, therefore it's big. Portugal has just abolished the death penalty. Accompanying this progress is taking a major civilizing step. Since today, Portugal is ahead of Europe. You, Portuguese, never stopped being intrepid navigators. Once you were ahead in the Oceans; Today you are truly ahead. Proclaiming principles is even more beautiful than discovering worlds. I shout: Glory to Portugal, and to you: Happiness! I shake your hand cordially. Victor Hugo Hauteville-House. July 15, 1867
que documentário lindo de se ver e tão bem realizado! Grande escolha de música e imagens! TUDO PERFEITO...admito que cheguei a ficar emocionado com algumas imagens do nosso lindo Portugal e a minha cidade nem apareceu! O nosso pais é lindo e por vezes nem temos a noção da sorte que temos!!!!!!
hi ! loved ur video ! i was hoping to know what is called the place where you go look for birth certificates etc.. pls tysm !! it was a beatiful video !!
2:00 Puto for boy💀 Some ppl use it to say kiddo but this is a swear word to say sonething like "jerk" so NEVER say that to older ppl or to kids here in portugal.
Depending on inflection and context, puto can be innocently referring to a young boy, or a derogatory term. Best to avoid it in unfamiliar circles as to not be misunderstood. Changing the last letter to an "a" to make it feminine, on the other hand, is absolutely derogatory and cannot be misunderstood. You're calling a female a hooker!
@@zuuks9519 Normalmente os brasileiros tentando descredebilizar o sangue portugues dizendo que somos misturados (o que é comprovadamente falso) mas temos aqui agora uma prova que não resta mais dúvida. Uma Mulher americana que não conhece nada de Portugal e que tem sangue Portugues, e veja como é branca e não misturada.
@@slogan0551 você parece um bocado ingênuo. Não sei se vc reparou, mas de todos os continentes, a Europa parece ser o de mais fácil acesso, ainda mais por estar entre dois grandes continentes. Banhado por mares de facil navegação e ligações em terra firme, a mobilidade de gente de outros lugares era comparativamente fácil. Então é óbvio que houve muita mistura no caminho, o que é algo positivo na verdade. Pois isso diminui riscos de doenças hereditarias causadas por grandes proximidades geneticas de individuos de povos muito isolados e muito homogêneos. Não estamos falando de tribos isoladas em ilhas do oceano pacifico.
You have a portuguese trait: being close to your family ❤
Thank you 💖🇵🇹 💕
Ó mar salgado, quanto do teu sal
São lágrimas de Portugal!
Por te cruzarmos, quantas mães choraram,
Quantos filhos em vão rezaram!
Quantas noivas ficaram por casar
Para que fosses nosso, ó mar!
Valeu a pena? Tudo vale a pena
Se a alma não é pequena.
Quem quere passar além do Bojador
Tem que passar além da dor.
Deus ao mar o perigo e o abismo deu,
Mas nele é que espelhou o céu.

30:32 "fonte das lágrimas" Oh, wow, I just live around the corner. So close to the fountain actually. You have to go inside the "quinta das lágrimas". too bad it was closing.
32:20 I actually work close by. nice!
Obrigada pelas licoes, Vivendo e Aprendendo💖🇵🇹 💕🇵🇹 💖🇵🇹 💕
What a special video! I may have shed a tear with your mom as her feet touched the waters of her ancestral land.
Thanks Meadow, we all cried a bit too
💖💕
Finally!!!😃
Beautiful and exciting video Claire, blessings
Thank you!
As soon as I started watching the video, it is clear that you are really Portuguese, but after realizing that you came from Brazil, it is also clear that you are really Brazilian! And then I remembered this fact: 80% of the Brazilian population has Portuguese DNA, some more, some less.
No, she's American
@@MW_Asura no once portuguese allways portuguese
@@feralv1975 She is worldly like her mom 🙃
@@JoseFerreira-vj3lq Her mother os from Brasil, her father is from US, as is she.
Not Portuguese, not Brazillian..
Also its a lie that 80% Brazillians have Portuguese blood, that was the truth in 1600/1700/1800..now its less than 25%.
The boggest blood mix they is African, around 48%..

So happy to see you back with a new adventure, new video 🎉
Thank you! This one took me a year to finish editing so it was definitely a labor of love. Sorry for making y'all wait so long for it.
Fun fact, “the other side” is Vila Nova de Gaia the 3rd biggest city in Portugal, Porto being the 4th 😁
Such a beautiful story and trip with your parents! My mom can't travel anymore, so seeing you all working together to solve the mystery was beautiful🥹
Thanks Sweetie, it was such a special experience.
Viseu is the most beautiful city in Portugal. I’m thankful to live there.
I can imagine, it's such a cozy and sweet little city.
Excellent minidoc. Congrats
Ahhhh so excited
This is sensitive. Loved it.

Thank you 💖🇵🇹 💕🇵🇹 💖🇵🇹 💕🇵🇹 💖🇵🇹 💕
The Dão is one of the best red wines in Portugal and, by extension, of the world.
Viseu its Amazing. birthplace of my Mom and dad. Amazing city
Yes, caminhei em Viseu como se estivesse beijando a cidade. Adorei!
I absolutely love your videos. Such a breath of fresh air and infinitely more engaging than the run of the mill travel related content that is so common on TH-cam. Don't change a single thing. ❤
Thank you 💖🇵🇹 💕🇵🇹 💖🇵🇹 💕🇵🇹 💖🇵🇹 💕
Viva Portugal!

Beautifull video,😊 r father is a Indiana Jones 😊 is rare to enjoy such a lovely and deep voyage in my country. Ty !
Parabéns pelas descobertas ❤
History fact about bridge D.Luis I , it was made by Eiffel & Cie
Founders: Gustave Eiffel, Théophile Seyrig.
Seyrig , that made the Eiffel tower in Paris, he followed the same style as his master.
Only seyrig coordenated that one tho.
Thank you 💖💕
and the old bridge in portimão.
As a Brazilian with Portuguese roots, it makes me full of joy seeing the connection we share with people around the globe through the history of Portugal. It is particularly beautiful seeing people discover the beauty of Portugal and its past and realizing how underrated it is in today's world narrative.
💞
Your mother is so sweet and lively!
I suggest you try to contact the TORRE DO TOMBO to find data about the steamship since it has data of the Immigration Services
💞 Thank you, our next trip!
Pasteis de nata are typical of Lisbon, even though you can find them all over Portugal.
Pasteis de nata is a conventual sweet.
Thank you for your video, I really liked it!❤💛💚
Yummy!
💖🇵🇹 💕🇵🇹 💖🇵🇹 💕
There is a reaaaaaally slight chance we might be related... :D. Although de Jesus is an overwhelmingly common surname both in Portugal and Brasil.
💞
Que vídeo magnífico ! ❤
Emocionei - me bastante ... 🥺 ✌
14:14 - The "other side" is not the other side of Porto, it's a different city called Vila Nova de Gaia. 😉
34:07 - What's famous in Belém is not the Pastel de Nata, it's the Pastel de Belém. As you noticed from the texture of the dough and the taste, they're two different things. You can compare the Pastéis de Nata amongst each other but you can't compare a Pastel de Belém with anything because they're unique.

Bacalhau is cod fish. It is salted and than is put in the air to get dried. Before eating it must beis water to leave the salt.
This was so wholesome! Especially because I'm an emigrant in the UK and originally from the city of Viseu. :)
One thing that made me laugh was your encounter with European bureaucracy, especially the Portuguese kind. When you don't know and you're made to feel like an idiot all the time. hahaha
One thing I will say is that the online payment system for that Coimbra parking lot was on the side of the machine, with a QR code and all. ;)
Thank you so much for this video, which I have found completely by accident.
Um bem haja! :)
💞
Whoa haven't seen a video from you in forever.
Many more coming, it took forever to finish this one but the next series from Norway should come together more quickly and we are going to Japan in November.
Hello! Love your videos :) the Bolinho de Bacalhau is not seafood, its codefish and you didnt saw how beautiful Parque da Cidade is, its a pitty :) you were just close to the parking lot. You should have walked up north from there around 5m and you would have seen forests, an amazing small village in the corner, two huge Lakes, plenty of animals :)
💞
Great episode and even a better ending.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Claire! My father is actually from Penalva do Castelo, and some of my family imigrated to Brazil. Maybe I may help you. I know that my grandfather's first love moved to Brazil and it broke his heart, wouldn't be crazy if she was your grandma!?
Wow that would be totally wild! Pinalva do Castelo is such a tiny little place, what a coincidence.
Beautiful story 🥹 um abraço
Hi Claire, for more information about your Portuguese ancestors, probably you need to research their local churches, check their baptism/ Christening records. Good luck.
Lovely video
Aveiro is not just the city. You should have went to the coastal line, to Costa Nova, for example.
But yes, Aveiro is a small city and that´s why is so cool.
By the way in Pasteis de Belem if you go inside and sit you get faster service and you can by them to take home to.

Hi from Cascais Portugal, if you look on your video on the side of the coin machine you have a QR code to use a app to pay from whatever you are since you have internet connection, pode encontrar esse QR codes quase em todo o territorio nacional. Beijos e boa sorte para o seu canal.
Ooobrigada 💖🇵🇹 💕🇵🇹 💖🇵🇹 💕
3:20 -bolinho de bacalhau-
Pastél de bacalhau☑️
Também adoro❤
Há o bacalhau com todos, aqui temos um Porto/Lisboa com todos os ingredientes habituais, sempre com os pastéis da nata ... que já são também da nato ...?

Happy holiday and celebrations on Portugal Republic Day, today, October 5th. This day commemorates the overthrow of the monarchy in 1910 and the establishment of a republic. . It is a public holiday with schools, state offices, and some restaurants being closed.

Strictly speaking Porto is the 4th biggest city in Portugal by population.
1st) Lisbon
2nd) Sintra
3rd) Vila Nova de Gaia (here may lie the reason for the confusion. Gaia belongs to the district of Porto)
4th) Porto
Waiting for the Tripeiros to launch their attack in 1, 2, 3...
rent free in mouros mind
If you know the place were one of your parents leaved in Portugal you may go there an look in the church to know more.
32:20 I guess it's too late now, but you are not supposed to park for more than a couple minutes, maybe a couple hours in those spots. That's why it's so expensive and only takes coins.
After long time!!
VICTOR HUGO - The death penalty has therefore been abolished in this noble Portugal, a small people with a great history!
Abolishing legal death, leaving all its rights and all its mystery to divine death, is an august progress among all. I congratulate your Parliament, your thinkers, your writers and your philosophers! I congratulate your Nation. Portugal sets an example for Europe. (…) Europe will imitate Portugal, Death to death! War to war! Hate to hate! Live life! Freedom is an immense city of which we are all fellow citizens.I shake your hand as my fellow countryman in humanity…
Victor Hugo, in a letter to newspaper DN, dated July 2, 1867
Letter from writer Victor Hugo.
Your noble letter made my heart beat. I knew the big news; It is pleasant for me to receive a friendly echo from you. No, there are no small peoples. But yes, little men, alas! And sometimes they are those who lead the great people. People who have despots resemble muzzled lions. I love and glorify your beautiful and dear Portugal. It's free, therefore it's big. Portugal has just abolished the death penalty. Accompanying this progress is taking a major civilizing step. Since today, Portugal is ahead of Europe. You, Portuguese, never stopped being intrepid navigators. Once you were ahead in the Oceans; Today you are truly ahead. Proclaiming principles is even more beautiful than discovering worlds. I shout: Glory to Portugal, and to you: Happiness! I shake your hand cordially.
Victor Hugo
Hauteville-House. July 15, 1867
I did not know that, Thank you @FrankWeil-ib4fw forsharing!

MacDonald has a second floor. Did you go there?
Yes, but on a previous trip. 🤩
2:00 Puto for boy💀
Some ppl use it to say kiddo but this is a swear word to say sonething like "jerk" so NEVER say that to older ppl or to kids here in portugal.
Depending on inflection and context, puto can be innocently referring to a young boy, or a derogatory term. Best to avoid it in unfamiliar circles as to not be misunderstood. Changing the last letter to an "a" to make it feminine, on the other hand, is absolutely derogatory and cannot be misunderstood. You're calling a female a hooker!
Hmmmm Your face makes me remember someone I knew.... or at least I used to see, but I`m not sure, Porto, Braga? Sure, you look like her twin sister.

Isso é para os brasileiros que tentam ofender a honra portuguesa quando dizem que somos mestiços. Está aí a prova final que o nosso sangue é puro.
sangue puro? o que é isso? até a raça de cão da serra da estrela é misturado.
não entendi. Ninguém aqui fica falando isso.
@@zuuks9519 Normalmente os brasileiros tentando descredebilizar o sangue portugues dizendo que somos misturados (o que é comprovadamente falso) mas temos aqui agora uma prova que não resta mais dúvida. Uma Mulher americana que não conhece nada de Portugal e que tem sangue Portugues, e veja como é branca e não misturada.
@@AntorchaToxica2789 Nao entendi, mas A Vida 'e pra ser vivida, nao necessariamente compreendida! 😊
@@slogan0551 você parece um bocado ingênuo. Não sei se vc reparou, mas de todos os continentes, a Europa parece ser o de mais fácil acesso, ainda mais por estar entre dois grandes continentes. Banhado por mares de facil navegação e ligações em terra firme, a mobilidade de gente de outros lugares era comparativamente fácil. Então é óbvio que houve muita mistura no caminho, o que é algo positivo na verdade. Pois isso diminui riscos de doenças hereditarias causadas por grandes proximidades geneticas de individuos de povos muito isolados e muito homogêneos. Não estamos falando de tribos isoladas em ilhas do oceano pacifico.

This was a special trip for Claire and her parents! I'll be back in the next video, Norway!!
I guess he is in Norway?!🙃
I wanted to learn more about brazil. But there is no playlist on brazil on your channel. And i assume you are brazilian.
I haven't filmed in Brazil yet, hopefully some day! My last couple trips there were before I started this channel.
