A simple detour to find a little wine bar in the Algarve may have saved our lives. We were driving between Porches and Silves during Storm Claudia when a last-minute choice changed our timing by just ten minutes, and put us behind a tornado instead of inside it. Some call these moments twists of fate, others call them guardian angels. Whatever they are, they stay with us. Have you ever had a moment like that?
I’m so glad that your decision to find that wine bar probably saved your life. Following your intuition or sometimes making a serendipitous decision is what can change everything—for the good.
Wow, what an incredible story. We have felt “the hand of fate” - or whatever you wanna call it - many, many times while we’ve been here. I love the mystery of it, and I love that it’s an ongoing lesson about life while living in Portugal: you learn to just roll with it.
Glad that both you and Paul love wine... as saying goes Wine is constant proof that the universe loves us and loves to see us happy :-))

Wow!
Life is fragile. Life is constant change.
(Há, seguramente, algo maior que nós.)
(Luckily there is wine - and you both like wine!)
