Don’t think about it, just go. I love history and I used to work in a historic home. I also study Talmud-Torah extensively with friends for fun, but it’s mostly book bound. So it meant a lot to me to get this immersive experience. Diogo is an excellent, very knowledgeable, tour guide. “When the four hours was up I was like “Wait, for real!?” He answered all of my questions and asked me a few as well. We walked all over but I was totally invigorated after. The Portuguese aspect of our resilience as a community is such an important story. It was worth the price and then some.
