These slanted cubic abodes are a creative if odd solution to a zoning pickle.

So I’m not sure what to do with the space that I have here but I’ve always lent it to just posting some travel pictures random at best, but maybe I’ll post a little bit more and just make it about travel and my other fave-cooking. So all sorts of random things will happen, but only about food and travel. So here we go.

Oh I already miss thanksgiving! Usually I would be eating Turkey sandwiches and ham and eggs breakfasts but this year I took food to my first destination as part of a road so did not bring back anything! Anyone relishing in leftovers? 🍁 🥘

I reread an article (Italy for Everyone) from a National Geographic magazine (2017) and day dreamed about doing an Italy trip visiting a variety of places: north through south, islands and a major city. Here they are: Milan, Modena, Umbria, Capri and Sicily.

Happy Day Dreaming Y’all!!

I loved the fact that this small desert oasis blossomed into this city. It was not a gradual thing like in other places where it happens over time. Rather their whole mantra is build it and they will come and build big. The Dubai Mall just speaks to the whole experience. If you are a shopper you will be in heaven and for a few days.

hostel with rooftop bar--hostel was not so ik. We were able to get a room to ourselves. (Coimbra) small ass streets-large luxury vehicles not welcomed thought they try bridge divers-these street actors egg each other on and then after they collect money churros -plentiful telefurico=cable cars over the top desserts-omg, --I got an ice cream cone and my friend and her son split this crazy Oreo etc shake with all the fix-ins, more like a large ice cream sundae (belly ache waiting to happen) [ 163 more words ]

notes/short ramblings We visited a beach with dunes in Sesimbra--about 50 minutes out of Lisbon. It was nice beach-great sand, some dunes, to run up and then one massive sand dune. The kid ran up that things and the cautionary mom could only see them tumbling back down. Then there was a large dune without greenery--can we say sand blast. If you sit in the way and the wind blows your eyes will die (my friends kid--first hand experience). [ 297 more words ]

Road tripping through Pennsylvania. It’s so funny because we told a bunch of different people prior and most were puzzled why we would go to PA. They asked-“what are you guys going to see, who are you visiting, what’s going on in pa.” Answer to these questions-some PA stuff, no one and not much. We wanted to see the other aide of PA outside of the Amish country, the poconos and the amusement parks. [ 332 more words ]

comment on Porto Smallest streets I have ever seen, you can barely get out of the car, high ass curbs--destroy your car door. daredevil driving--man I would need a different road test to drive there. parking on the edge of cliffs--wtf. manual driving nightmares come to fruition guys diving off of the bridge for sport, fans, fame and money--we are back in the middle ages, oh wait, no we are in the right time--opportunity.

During the week we sometimes just want to be outside of the home, and do less dishes. 🙂 So usually once a week we go out to any place we fancy, within reason. We got a Groupon and it was for Mediterranean Food. We had our mind set or some good Mediterranean food. For some reason we were not foodies that night. [ 285 more words ]

We were some lucky dogs that day. I was told I could not make a reservation at another place and to just show up, but when we arrived there, they said 2 hours wait (whhhhhhattttttt). While in car on the way there and with people already waiting outside for us, I called up my backup place and they were like come in half an hour. [ 323 more words ]
