What’s In Your Lease?
Like everything else here, Mike found that the process of negotiating a lease in Portugal had some unexpected surprises.
Feliz Ano Novo!
We celebrated the New Year in Portugal with a mix of holiday traditions. Plus, Mary is sharing a recipe for a delicious party dish.
A Bad Day, But a Good Trip
Our trip to Nazaré got off to a rough start, but we saw the world famous waves and enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving dinner with new friends.
Impressions of Valencia
Our second stop in Spain was Valencia, a city that captured our imagination before we ever arrived and charmed us once we were there.
A Walk Down Bitter Street
A chance encounter in the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona reminded Mike of one of the best parts of traveling.
Impressions of Madrid
During a recent three day visit, we explored the historic center and came away with some distinct impressions of Madrid and its history.
In the Land of the Ninots
At the Museu Faller de Valéncia, we enjoyed looking at ninots saved from the annual Fallas Festival since the 1930’s.
This Cook is Not a Chef
Mary shares two delicious recipes that utilize ingredients we brought back from Spain – saffron and pimentón (paprika).
