OMG! António, I am so soooo sorry! I just glanced at the map and for some reason Spain stuck in my head! I should have looked more carefully. If you knew me personally, you would know I am generally very careful about such things. I studied Spanish all through school and am now learning Norwegian and Mandarin. I am as fascinated by other cultures as I am by nature. It annoys me when American's generalize other countries/cultures. Now I am guilty of just that. Shamefully, I have egg all over my face. Sinto muito!
