Taking a bite of everything in the district.
Our massive family decided to escape to the mountains for some well-deserved R&R over the weekend, but failed to decide on which area they were going to.

Honestly, I’m not sure hanging out with Food and I is much of a vacation, but we love them dearly and were crazy happy to see them for the second time in the last nine … Continue reading Eating Lisboa
Food and I were too keyed up to be calm when flying to Venice.
