While reflecting on a couple of lovely days spent traveling around my beautiful island of Santo Antao, I’m inspired to think about the journey of life.

Today my beloved Godfather transitioned to the spirit realm. And though I know his love will continue to surround me, the world lost a lot of character today. My Godfather was a total class act.
