Brave lady - taking on the ... "Maxi Dance" is known for its thrilling experience, rides of this nature typically generate g-forces ranging from 2 to 5 g's. That's pretty awesome Trish - but as you say, the wisdom of experience says never again. I went on a few rides some years ago, "runaway train" same experience - been there, done that, never again.

Closest I came to passing out due to g's was when my dad was racing by car to go sailing "before the wind died" - the lake was 40 miles away, he was on the sharp turnpike to enter the freeway and wanted to enter at the speed limit, so was accelerating through the tight, downward sloping curve. Thanks to google maps I can go and measure the tightness of the curve years later - it gives only 2.3 g's, so I guess the fact that it was sideways and in a car on a sharp curve made it seem worse than it was. Here's a challenge for Zax for later :- Hyperion is an inverting rollercoaster located at Energylandia in Zator, Poland. After reaching the top of the lift hill, the train drops 82 metres (269 ft) at an angle of 85 degrees into a tunnel, reaching a speed of 142 kilometres per hour (88 mph).[2] The train then exits the tunnel and travels over a large hill. Following this hill, the train enters an inversion that consists of a large turnaround similar to a dive drop. Are you fully bilingual in terms of units, or have you forgotten all the Imperial Units by now ? Hyperion Length 4,757 ft Height 253 ft Drop 269 ft Speed 89 mph Inversions 1 Vertical Angle 85° G-Force 4.8 The need for a G-suit generally arises when pilots are subjected to g-forces of approximately 4 to 5 g's. At these levels, the risk of blood pooling in the lower body increases, which can lead to loss of consciousness

Nice. You just forgot a very, very great difference. Your SAFETY. You can (even in most areas of the bigger cities here) walk around at night, even alone. Also, when in crowded spaces, like the subway, you only need to watch your pursevor pockets for pickpockets, but only to a reasonable level. Other than that, no worries. Another great thing is basically no one will be trying to kidnap your kids. So, please enjoy the safety here with minimal care.

Nice view of home industries in the Algarve, Trish, very nice looking area - loved the harbour view too. Waiting keenly to see your boat trip to Formosa island. What are organic fish products? 🤣🤣 You can hardly get GM fish, or fish fed on fertiliser 😛. Maybe sushi-fish species you can eat raw (salmon, maybe tuna too). A few days ago I finished a book called "Sushi for Beginners" - set in Dublin of all places. It was only indirectly about sushi (and yes, I do love it - we have several sushi take outs close by, we have it at least every 4-6 weeks) - but book was more about the trials and tribulations of young adults finding their way in the emotional minefield of human drama. Have cycled around Ireland - much friendlier than the UK, just rained too much for me. I had a quick look on G. maps, at 37N and well outside Gibraltar St. , the ocean must be fairly nippy (I prefer being in the water than on it - blessed to have lived in 2 warm water cities so far, looking forward to the third). Oh yes - just remembered, my best friend's son just enrolled for Portuguese as an elective subject. I asked why, he has no connection at all with either Portugal or Brazil. Turns out that he lived with a Portuguese family for two years of junior school while his mother was travelling to and fro sorting out their emigration process. Nice to have another Portuguese penpal to share this with.

(don't get put off, is much more science fiction than supernatural. Go watch Interstellar, I Origins and 1899 - they are definitely SF and not supernatural). Chemical Hearts (2020): Featured in this romantic drama film, which explores themes of love and loss. Elementary (2012): Included in this modern adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, which aired for seven seasons. Sweet Tooth (2021): The track is also part of the soundtrack for this fantasy series based on the comic book of the same name.

Massive candles you light, wow - and a huge fire in the fireplace. I'm used to what we call "tea candles" - they probably are exactly measured to burn for 30 minutes. I was in La Plata a while back, my work host told me the Cathedral there is the tallest in the Southern Hemisphere, and since I had specially done an Española course before going to do this client training, I thought I'd attend a mass in Spanish. It turned out it was in Latin that day, irony is my school Latin (5 yrs and dux prize) was better than my Spanish 🤣😂 I actually checked while typing this msg, he is wrong, Maringá Cathedral (Brazil) is a full 40 ft taller, but latter is an ugly spaceship style architecture while La Plata Cathedral is beautiful, looks like a 90 pipe church organ.

I had a huge argument about it with my dad when I had to choose senior school subjects. He only wanted me to do it so I could study law or medicine, I didn't object to it per se [he, he - had to slip that in], but I wanted to put some other elective as first choice to avoid distasteful other electives I really did not want to do [german, art or music]. I lost that battle with my dad, but ended up avoiding the terrible trio above. Latin was hard work - it took 50% of my homework prep time, but after 2 years it kind of gelled - and the next 3 years were easier. I did such a great senior year project on Vesuvius, wrote lots of it in Lingua Latina - got 99% I think for it - still have that full mini thesis to this day. There's lots more to my Latin Legacy - another chat though.

Trish - super fun video to watch, thank you for your insights. I was very curious because I've visited Lisbon, and San Diego, and stayed in Iligan for 3 weeks too. I had a 6 hour transit in Lisbon on a long haul flight. I remember the airport was so close to the city, I could take an easy stroll to the centre (just looked it up now - an easy 6 km stroll due south to the banks of the Tagus Strait, take in the lovely boulevarde's, find a bottle shop to by a classic bottle of Port, then sit and chill watching the boats on the Atlantic before my next 12 hour flight. I was going to ask how you managed with Portuguese, do you cope with just knowledge of a bit of Spanish? In California, approximately 28% of residents speak Spanish at home, but many Californians have at least some understanding of Spanish. In the Algarve region of Portugal, around 30% to 50% of long-term residents are estimated to understand English, especially in tourist areas.

We don't think that's art... If you see a street wall painting that deserves the naming of art you will know it right away. I don't know who told you that we think that's art, but lied to you.

Driving to Lisbon is madness - it is so easy to take a train. If you buy your ticket 8 days in advance you get a discount of almost 50%. If you are a senior you can travel immediately and get a 50%discount. If you drive to Lisbon your car parking can cost as much as your hotel.. When you go by train you can relax immediately - the buffet car on the train sells excellent wine. That is a big difference between the mindset between an American and a European - driving is madness. The train is much faster.

You are so right! We often take the train or bus to Lisbon! It really is so convenient and you don't have to deal with the hassle of Lisbon parking. Thanks for the tip reminder!! 🤩

Sorry, but we didn't celebrate 50 years of independence. We celebrated 50 years of liberation from a autocratic regime. Portugal is independent since 1140, with a interregnum of 60 years between 1580 to 1640, where the country was in personnal union with the Spanish crown.
