The Brennans have gone to Portugal

Good evening! It is now Thursday, January 23. I have been searching for dry vermouth. Everywhere has the dark red bottle and the light green one. Some places even have orange vermouth, but not the dark green bottle of dry vermouth. This evening, after a trip to Spain, I went into Tavira in search of a liquor store. The places we had been looking were grocery stores, which all sell liquor. I finally found a liquor store just across the Roman Bridge. It's called the Roman Bridge because it was built by the Romans. They had the red bottle, the light green one, and the orange vermouth, but no dry vermouth. I asked the man who appeared to be in charge, and he said they had a Portuguese dry vermouth suitable for Martinis. I bought one thinking it would be less expensive because it was Portuguese.

It is not very clear, but in the distance, you can see the ocean.     

 Good evening As some of you know, we have had some problems. On Sunday night, we got about one-fifth of a year's rain, which caused several leaks in our home. As always, the people here were helpful and had us move to a new home. We are now in the house. I have included pictures of the new home.

  This is the little grocery store. Most of the time we go to Tavira and the Contente.
