Well, we fell in love with Braga. People are so warm and friendly, in both Spain and Portugal, and people in Braga have been very helpful as I do research. I feel like we've made some wonderful friends there.Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717808259082655272.post-1315589505555338652015-07-13T04:23:05.923-07:002015-07-13T04:23:05.923-07:00It sounds like a great trip.
