Today, we try to take a stab at telling the tale of Portugal's world conquest in the 15th-16th centuries. Then we get side tracked and continue going through the later centuries...it's a brief travel through time, and brief history lesson for those of you who don't already know Portugal's history. We will get into specific historical details later on some bonus episodes, and we promise to do better research.
