Leira, Portugal, October 2019

I have just had a proper read of some of the Polish newspapers and magazines. Mostly analyses of the political landscape in the country after the recent elections. What I am reading scares me… chauvinism, hatred, bigotry, extreme nationalism, building a state where Catholic Church becomes a quasi-national religion and a quasi obligatory way of life to be successful in the country.

I have always loved Portugal, but now, given the discourse in Poland, I am even more excited and grateful about having an opportunity to call that country to be my home. Talking of Portugal, I will be visiting Obidos and Lisbon in early November. I can't wait!
