Carpinterian Maria Gonzalez brought her copy of CVN on a trip to Sintra, Portugal, stopping to snap a photo in front of the Quinta da Regaleira — a castle built in the late 1800s and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This was Maria’s first time visiting Europe, her son Michael told CVN. “She is clearly proud of the town she calls home and I believe she makes a great contribution to keeping Carpinteria beautiful,” he said.
