there is this beach in portugal,

a small fishing village,

where the main street fills on sunday night with locals,

and tourists

and musicians on a stage.

where the sun sets like it does on the prairie

for hours,

eons,

and it's like nowhere you've ever been before.

you imagine yourself living there.

get a sunburn on the beach.

drink all the wine,

and listen to dozens of conversations happening around you.

you will come back here a thousand times.

it will become your refuge.

you decide at sunset drinking super bock in the waves

to get a tattoo on your thumb.

in the morning you'll be gone.
