Bookmark = Save it for future reference
... cause I think it's pretty good, and I need to explore more of Portugal one of these days.

Green with envy.
"The origin of the idiom 'green with envy' is believed to come directly from the great William Shakespeare himself. In Othello, Iago warns Othello: “Beware, my lord, of jealousy; it is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on."
