Wings are for flying, for freeing us from the chains that bind us to the fear of the unknown...

I classify the trips I have already taken as (Trips) and not (Vacation). I like to separate these two words (Travel/Vacation). They generally seem to represent the same physical state, but in reality it is a different philosophy to me. My travels usually start many months before my final destination. Everything is carefully planned to avoid big surprises and even then, there are always not-so-good surprises. Even what doesn't go so well is part of the story of the trip...

During more than 30 years I have collected and cataloged many marine shells and fossils. Particularly specimens from Portugal. Along all these years, has been a hard work, but full of pleasure.
