I learned Portuguese in Brasil. I have lots of friends from there and perhaps I'll retire there, although I have thought about Portugal too. I have family in Madrid and in Santander. As I get older, I want to get away from the crowds and settle into a more simple way of life. Both the northeast and south of Brasil as well as parts of Portugal can offer this.

Now that I know there is an active kayak community there.........melhor ainda!!!!

I read and speak Portuguese better than I write it. Feel free to PM me in Portuguese. Nao tem problema nem um.

A pleasure speaking with you and learning about your kayaking experience. Perhaps we'll meet and do some fishing next time I travel to your country. I'll send you photos of my brother and I doing our kayak thing here in Southern California.
