Laughter and Learning: Savoring Spring, Honorary Degrees, and Portuguese Journeys

Married to Portuguese

Ever found yourself chuckling at life’s little hiccups? That's exactly where we begin our latest audio adventure, thanks to a slight recording snafu. As we cozy up to the mic, we invite you to laugh along with us and soak in the updates from a spring season bursting at the seams with family festivities and the creative whirlwind of content crafting. And if you've ever wondered about the art of rice-making, we have a heated debate just for you—rinse or not to rinse? Plus, we're packing our bags and bringing you tales of sold-out travel escapades to Portugal, complete with the challenges of island popularity and the ever-daunting task of on-the-go laundry strategy.
Then, we shift gears to a humbling moment—my unexpected receipt of an honorary degree—which brings us to a heartfelt appreciation for the unsung heroes of education: community colleges. We're spinning stories from the poignant strains of fado music to the tenacity of adult language learning amidst the chaos of daily life. Join us as we wrap ourselves in the vibrant energy of recent graduates, sharing in their triumphs and the collective pride that filled a graduation ceremony, rain and resilience intertwined. Whether it's pondering culinary conundrums or celebrating the spirit of community learning, this episode is a tapestry of the simple yet profound moments that connect us all.
