I’m off in a couple of hours for Portugal. I arrive Tuesday morning after taking a red-eye, have dinner with the conference hosts that night, talk on Wednesday morning, and leave Thursday morning. That leaves me about three hours to see the entire country, plumb its depths, and come to grips with the Portuguese soul. That would be impossible for most people. Thankfully, I am a shallow American.

BTW, here’s a travel tip: I’ve spent the past couple of weeks convincing my children that Portugal’s leading export is hotel soap. That’s going to save me loads of shopping time!
