Today was another travel day; up early, pack, off to the airport, fly from Barcelona to Faro, Portugal, pick up a car, and then drive to the fabulous Vila Vita Parc in Porches resort to attend a conference.

Immediate impression of Portugal – not in Kansas anymore, and also, not in Spain. Really, not in first-world Europe. Feels more like third-world Argentina if I’m being completely honest. Everyone is friendly but everything is a bit, well, disorganized…

After a blast down the Southern highway and then some messing around in small roads, found it, and OMG how beautiful. A bit of an island in the surroundings.

immediately that rock became aka “the cheesecake”


And so here I am, at the Vita Parc in Porches. Yippee.
