I think that France would be easier for you, given that you speak French well. However you could probably do some intensive study of Portuguese (at government expense, of course) and could then comfortably move to Porto. Just going to mention that Douranenez in Bretagne is right on the western coast of France. In fact I think it may be the farthest west place in all of Europe. It's a charming town -- so many wonderful markets, lovely people. Let me know what you decide.

It does look charming. Very like Honfleur or Callais but not quite so touristy, I’m gathering. We’ll plan a scouting trip. Deep in the throes of finishing a biography of a young lawyer close Emerson who left a series of Civil War letters I’ve been editing for quite some time. Should be wrapped up by next spring. I will let you know. I think finding an agent who can help us through the process will be important, if you have any ideas.

I will look, thank you. Depends on real estate prices. We want something super simple, a small 2 BR cottage or apartment. Books and fresh food. And good wine.
