Wow, you've nearly achieved your art goal and it's only August! I thoroughly agree with you about language. No matter how many people speak English, it makes a real difference connecting with people if you are making an effort with their language. Even if I'm just passing through a place for a night or two, I try and learn a few words, just out of respect. Good luck with your Portuguese learning. I'm sure you'll do great.
I love Vinho Verde! It was fun reading about your transition and Porto seems quite lovely! I had tickets to go there when COVID hit, so we never made it.
I remember being in Portugal in the early 90s and going out for Vino Verde and espresso shots at 11 PM. I can’t member what those shots were called, they had a name, but I think of that now, oh my, I’d never sleep! I’m really impressed with how you are going about getting to know this new place. I love it.
