Third and last time in Madeira, for now. We saw amazing, breathtaking landscapes, we visited beautiful places, small towns, villages, museums, we felt the cold mountain air, we listened to the waves, we got soaked in the rain, we enjoyed the food and the wine.
But most of all, as always, the people. Hospitable, in a good mood, always ready to chat, to show, to help, to explain. People at the market, the bookshop, the museums, the restaurants, the coffee shops; but also, the ones we got to know a bit better. So thank you, thank you, thank you: Margarida, Mafalda, Henrique, Sónia, Sara, Natércia, Cátia... For everything you shared with us and for reminding me of the time when we used to invest on every relationship, no matter how ephemeral, regardless of its expiry date. Of the time we were humane. Of the time we were 'us'.

And thank you, Cecília. For sharing all this and for making it richer. And for being... just as you are.
