Two bedroom with a balcony

For quite some time now, the Sisters have been wanting their own apartment.  Not because we don’t like our families but, because, you know, sometimes you just need a quiet moment to think or not hear the word “MOM!” shouted repeatedly.  We’ve looked around town trying to locate something small and cheap but clean.  We pretend it’s going to happen.  We talk about it like it will.  In fact, we talk about it so much that we have other women who want to go in on it with us.  Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to find what we’re seeking and we’ve decided to expand our geographic limits.

Enter Portugal!

Turns out Portugal has a birth problem due to it’s lack of jobs and high unemployment.  People of child-bearing years are moving to other countries or putting off having children until things improve.  Portugal has the lowest birth rate in Europe.  What’s that got to with your search for an apartment – you say?  Well, when the economy is bad and people stop having kids, the Sisters think CHEAP REAL ESTATE and, good gods, NO Children!  SOLD!

We’ve contacted House Hunters International to begin the search.  Wish as luck!!!
