This enchanted place is where my maternal great-grandfather was from. Story goes his father and mother came to the states and left him there at likely, 12 years of age, to work his way over. He made enough to get to the Hawaiian island of Kauia (and I think that's proper spelling). He worked on a sugar plantation (which my family tried to located when we went there several years ago) and then finally got over to the mainland. I have the entire account somewhere, but it would take a while to find.
Portugal - ahh, someday. . .:)
