Walt Whitman: I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable, I sound my barbaric YAWP over the roofs of the world.

That is exactly how I am feeling tonight here in the ancient walled city of Evora, about an hour east toward Spain from Lisbon on this adventure to the European Wine Bloggers Conference and to a tour of the Alentejo wine region on a trip hosted by Enoforum Wines. The wind is wild and the rain mists and the moon dodges the clouds. Portugal is a land full the of ghosts of previous civilizations–the Romans, the Moors, the peasants, the feudal kings, the explorers, the plunderers– and they are all out and about today, All Saints Day. Say hello and welcome home.
Soon I will update you with a post and photographs about my visit to the Tejo region’s cork forest and wineries, followed by travel to Evora for a delicious dinner of tapas and setting into the beautiful and luxurious hotel M’Ar de Ar where I have a view of the Roman Aquaduct from my jacuzzi bath and my bed–which is calling me! Time to get some rest.
