Taxi drivers in Havana....they don’t just get you from point a to point b. It’s an adventure along the way...
On the way into town, we stopped at our cabbie’s house to pick up groceries and a clean blouse.
On the way home we stopped for an impromptu dance lesson in the street.

So many gorgeous spots in Havana for snacks/dinner/cocktails!!! I think we are trying to hit them all this week!

Fusterlandia: Cuba’s Parque de Guell. A whole neighborhood of mosaics. Mind blowing.

August has been a month of and for me.
My favorite recent discovery is Stanford Cidery!
I can’t say enough about this place!
Amazing staff who made us feel instantly welcome. 12 options of unique ciders. A bookcase chock full of board games. A fun, friendly atmosphere. Even a guitar and a piano to play if you’re so inclined!! (I am not, but appreciated it nonetheless.)

Thanks for the great night, ....we will be back soon!!!

For F&W's executive wine editor Ray Isle, Portugal is the most exciting wine country in the world that the U.S. doesn’t know enough about....

24/07/2019

Saturday afternoon on Penha: another fantastically unique dining experience in Portugal!! We ate off of a stone picnic table at a cafe built in a cave on the side of a mountain, and the food was D-E-licious!!!!
I think we ordered at least two of every dish on the menu. The food kept coming and coming—not all at once—just whenever it was done. The heavy, gritty wine was served in clay jugs and we drank it heartily out of little china bowls. And the guys next to us were settled in for the afternoon—I think they were trying to see if they could drain the cafe’s supply of Super Bock.... and there was lots of spontaneous singing erupting from tables around us and photo bombs from fun, friendly strangers.

Times like this make me feel lucky to be alive in this nutty world and to have figured out how to make travel such a huge part of my life!
Afternoons like this. ❤️

A morning making pots with Maria Fernanda Braga in Guimarães. Thanks for being so patient with us, Maria!!!
One of my favorite things to do while traveling is to visit and work with other artists—to learn their traditions and techniques.
Art is such a window into the culture.

That day we arrived in Vasto and had a lovely Aperol Spritz, watching the afternoon world go by......

You know those wine barrels you can sleep in that you read about in the NYT?? We were there!
Ok...true confessions: we didn’t sleep in them.
But we did have an outstanding wine tasting !

There I was, sort of mindlessly wandering around the Asheville REI after a particularly amazing mountain bike ride. Still over the moon about conquering a challenging section of trail that I honestly didn’t expect to any time soon! And this quote painted on the floor practically jumped out and bit me!
Mountain biking has changed my life. It’s given me confidence in a way that nothing else has. I’m not super great at it, but I’m getting better all the time. I have my bad days where I feel like nothing is going right, but little by little I’m gaining skills. And each time I ride, I try to do something I’ve not been able to do before. Every once in a while, I have a mind blowing day like yesterday, but more often, I’m celebrating the tiny victories.
Mountain biking teaches me to celebrate incremental improvements, to dig deep and find courage when I’m facing a challenging segment of trail, and to have gratitude for my body—not for meeting some unrealistic societal standard— but rather for being strong and healthy and allowing me to be active which makes me feel so alive!
As adults, we are often inclined to shy away from trying new things. “What if I embarrass myself?” “What if I’m not good at it?” “What if someone judges me??”
I challenge you instead to ask yourself “What if I impress myself?” “What if I find something that brings me great joy?” And “What if I can inspire someone else?”
Is there something that’s been nagging at you that you’ve avoided for fear of failure? Time to look at the opportunity—what’s the best thing that could happen if you try that thing?

More jaw-dropping beauty from . And a centuries-old chapel covered in ivy. It’s a storybook. Except that it’s real life.
We were there. And you could be too! DM me to get on our email list so you don’t miss the next
BTW....Does anyone know what this flower is? I adore it.

We arrived at Quinta da Comenda just in time for a walk around the farm during the golden hour.... you know—when the setting sun seems to be lighting the world on magical, beautiful fire...
As we were out walking I realized I was literally grinning from ear to ear and I couldn’t stop. It was just so breathtaking and I had a moment where I realized, “This is real. This is my life! I get to do this all the time! I actually have made my own dreams come true!!!” And I think just then I actually said out loud, “I’m pretty sure I’m the luckiest person in the world.”
Wow.
But —don’t fret!!— there’s enough to go around! You can be there too!!! We are heading to Portugal again next spring! Want to get in on the action? Message me to get on our first dibs list, and you’ll hear about the trip just before it goes online.
This year’s Portugal trip sold out before it went public.
Just saying... don’t wait.
Oh—and the asparagus on the Quinta is so good that we were eating it raw! It’s truly a magical place.

Ovos moles de Aveiro..... a unique kind of wonderful.
Think: communion wafer shell filled with the yellow part of a Cadbury cream egg.
Woah. .

You might think these were painted for tourists, but apparently they’re traditional fishing houses. Beautiful. .

Falling under the category of: things you didn’t even realize you didn’t know”: how sea salt is harvested!
Well, now—thanks to our incredibly spirited and passionate tour guide—we know!!

I’m not sure is going to be thrilled with me posting these pics, but I just had to, because it was one of those great intercultural moments. For us Americans, sitting down to a bowl of fish—heads-and-all— can be a confusing moment. What do we do? Eat the whole thing? Pick it apart? Try to pick out those tiny little bones?
Many thanks to our friend, Patricia, for being patient with us and teaching us how to eat these delicious little jaquinzinhos! (translates to baby horse mackerel). Thank goodness for good friends!
