Ola Queridos!!
I'm first generation born Canadian on my late father's side. I grew up speaking portuguese at home, and english only at school! We are from the continent, about 30 minutes from Lisboa in a tiny town. I have recently inherited properties and a home in Portugal, and will be leaving in May to spend the summer there. It will be a very emotional return! I have deep saudades for Portugal, and have always been very culturally identified.
My step-mother and vovo were from San Miguel-- so when I speak portuguese, everyone is puzzled: they can't place my Canadian/Continental/Azorean accent
heh!

You say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to walk under it.
You say you love sun, but you seek shade when its shining.
You say you love wind, but when its comes you close your window.
So that's why I'm scared, when you say you love me.
