Great Eats in Grenada

Grenada Restaurants

Before my partner and I embarked on our European adventure, we spent some time on the beautiful Caribbean island of Grenada. We have been blessed to visit numerous times (it helps when you have family reside there) and it is truly starting to feel like a second home.

The landscape is surreal. Beautiful beaches, pristine water, rolling hills, lush rainforest, and more than enough fruit to fill your hearts desire. The beauty of the island definitely is enough to leave an impression on any traveller, however, the lovely locals are what keeps us coming back. I have always felt that Grenadians are the Caribbean’s kindest and most hospitable people. View Post

Three Things I Loved About Lisbon

We recently spent five days in Lisbon, the capital and tourist centre of Portugal.

The selfie sticks, fanny packs, and Tilley hats were everywhere. However, since we were visiting during shoulder season, I’m sure it is nothing in comparison to what the locals are used to seeing during the summer months.

Lisbon had all the hustle and bustle of a large tourist town and given the beauty of the city, and the charm of the locals, it was easy to look beyond the throngs of tourists to enjoy this incredibly interesting, historic capital.

Have you ever wondered to yourself, “what have the Portuguese done to help solve world hunger”? Me neither, until today. On the advice of a tour guide, I set out to find a local sandwich – one which is made of legend. Legend and other stuff, mostly things that humans eat. Allow me to introduce you to my adventure with the Francesinha, Porto’s official answer to end world hunger.

Visiting Porto, Portugal

After reviewing my posts this week I realized that I left out a critical piece of information. Where are we, and what the heck have we been up to!?

Therefore, I have decided to create “FYI Fridays” to get you all caught up on what we’ve been doing each week. Sounds good? Great!

Here we go…
