  • I will be traveling in Portugal for the month of February. I am thrilled to return after many years. My home for three years was Cascais and I taught in an American International School. Portugal was my "soul" place. Now, I am working on relearning my Portuguese.

    Do sol de Ipanema
    O seu balançado
    É mais que um poema
    É a coisa mais linda
    Que eu já vi passar.

    Ah, porque estou tão sozinho
    Porque tudo é tão triste
    Ah, beleza que existe
    A beleza que não é só minha
    Que também passa sozinha.

    Ah, se ela soubesse
    Que quando ela passa
    O mundo sorrindo
    Se enche de graça
    E fica mais lindo
    Por causa do amor...
