The North Wind blew again
Three years ago we felt the North Wind blow, and it brought us all the way to Portugal. We have a second installment for you today.
Portugal
Another look at Pixo
Jury, a reader from Germany, sent us a great picture of an interesting building we’d seen in Porto, reminding us that Pixo is not dead!
An unplanned lunch at Coyo Taco
We started out to have lunch at a quiosque, but found it was closed. Good fortune led us to Coyo Taco, where we had a delightful meal.
What’s up with olive oil?
We dig into the reasons behind the rising price of olive oil and discover there’s a lot more at stake.
The Cold and Damp
Winter in Portugal is sort of cold and very damp. How we deal with it. Also, some reflections on living privileged lives.
The Holidays Are Illuminated – Part 2
Again this year we enjoyed getting out to see the Christmas lights and decorations in Lisbon, Coimbra, Nazaré, Caldas da Rainha, and Obidos.
Living Between the Campos, Part 2
Campo Grande (the big field) is one of the largest public parks in Lisbon. It’s in our neighborhood and we’re proud to show you around!
Living Between the Campos, Part 1
The Campo Pequeno arena is a unique part of our neighborhood. We look at its history and how it has adapted to the 21st century.
In the Field of the Martyrs
Our visit to the Campo dos Mártires da Pátria (Field of the Martyrs to the Fatherland) in Lisbon taught us more Portuguese history.
Just Another August in Lisbon
August should be quiet in Lisbon, when many people are away. Not this year!
