Portuguese Solstice

 

The evening of the summer solstice in Portugal, a group of international artists, writers, musicians and scientists - representing 7 countries: Portugal, United States (me), Canada, Holland, Brazil, Italy, and Greece.  As the sun set over the ancient stone pointing west, we toasted to the waning light. Then the music began - Brazilian Portuguese love songs on the guitar, Chopin and Eric Satie played on the piano, singing, clapping, dancing while the wine flowed. a dreamy night under a moonless sky blazing with stars.
