The history, what it means for Portugal, and how it still shapes the country right now is something we were not prepared for. Everly talked over most of the clothes line moment, the time change from North America barely touched us, but going home to Canada is going to be a different story, and 10 days in a van across one of the cleanest countries we have ever seen starts now.We're Frankie and Alex.
