I think a lot of middle class liberal voters see a bit of themselves in this couple, and if the could flee their beachfront mansion and fly a charter to their mansion in England, that what they would do.

Change England to Portugal and I'm there. I'll even take Ellen's girlfriend; just not Ellen.

First, I think you're probably upper middle class and may actually have a mansion.  5500 sf overlooking the ski slopes at some as-yet-undiscovered-by-the-masses mountain.  Probably called Pecunious Mountain, or something ribald...Snowsnatch, something like that. 

 

As for Portugal, I've never been but it looks pretty awesome.  Again, we probably agree on Portia thought she seems to prefer her chili dogs to be served without the dog.

So close and yet so far.

I visited a few years ago. Fantastic.

True. Always sad when we lose one of the keepers to the other team.

Visit Lisbon and see what it's rent controlled market has caused.

Predictable result, and what Harris was hinting at.

 

And, speaking from a great deal of Brazilian experience, Portuguese is a bit tougher to learn than other languages.

I've only been to Europe once--Vienna with side trips to Salzburg and Prague.  I enjoyed the history and some of the beautiful buildings dating back 100s of years. Good trip but I was ready to come home when we left.  

 

Our next trip that way will be Italy, I believe.  I don't have a burning desire to see much of Europe, but think that would be pretty cool.  

 

I'll read up on Lisbon--thanks for the scoop.
