Not bragging or any other thing. Just curious about the world around me.
So, I live in a very small village. There is nothing going on here. We are a 10-minute drive from a lovely biggish town with some great historical spots. But my village has little old houses. Quite a few Portuguese people who live in Lisbon buy tiny houses here, fix them up a little, and use them for vacation homes. I am curious about why they do it. There's not much to do or see here. Just trees and rolling hills. It's very pretty, but there are no recreation spots or anything nearby. I wonder why families come to hang out with their children here a dozen times a year or so. They do this in all of the villages I have spent time in. We looked at a house in a little village that was 100% vacation homes. We would have been the only full-time residents. It's so interesting to me. I think it may simply be for the quiet. It's kind of sweet.
Musing on this now because they're mixing concrete two doors down for the little house that is being reno-ed for a family I met last week.
