Thunder, Tea, and a Smile

Faro, Portugal · 2026-10-05

The thunder rumbled overhead, yet I sat by the water wearing sunglasses, ignoring the rain to feed my rider who refused to eat anything. Despite the dark clouds hiding the hills, the sea sparkled just enough to make me smile for a photo with my braid over my shoulder. It is the weather that decides our day, but sometimes it decides for us that a little sunshine can still break through.

Write to Marta in Spanish and she answers — about her day, with photographs. What you got wrong comes back struck through with the right version beside it. Every word is tappable.
