Bem Vindo!

Bem Vindo!  Welcome!  There are no addresses on the island of Fogo...you just ask someone where someone lives and they will direct you up or down the cobblestone streets...and then you ask any neighbor as you get nearer, and they will tell you the exact house and if the family is there... or if not...where.  The people here love for you to follow them to their homes and they  let you sit on their best chair or on their bucket of rice.  I tuck a reminder into my smile as I kiss them on their right cheek, then left cheek..both coming and going.  I must not forget to be such a gracious host in my own home, so people will feel as welcome there.
