foodie break: harvest in harvard square
When we tell you we probably (definitely) ate our weight in lobster while visiting Boston, we weren’t kidding. In fact, we did quite a lot of eating and drinking, and we must say: Boston, you sure don’t disappoint. On our Boston Bucket List was the neighborhood of Cambridge, which sits directly across the Charles River from Boston proper. Best known as the home to two of the country’s most distinguished universities — Harvard and MIT — Cambridge has no shortage of top-notch restaurants and bars. With a little help from BostonUsa.com, we settled on lunch at Harvest in Harvard Square. Since the…

olá, portugal! wine tasting in the alentejo
Lisbon was our intro to Portugal, and effectively confirmed that we were in for a week of amazing food in a beautiful new country. But a stint of wine tasting in the Alentejo cemented something much, much more important. We had a new-found love for Portuguese wine!

It can be a hotel, a restaurant, or a single moment. But these are the things you’re going to think of first when you look back on a trip.…

lisbon 101: an introduction to portugal
From the beginning of our adventure abroad, I knew that while the hubs was the one slaving away toward his MBA, I’d be educating myself in other ways. I practically majored in European Geography this year. Among some of my most anticipated classes, an Introduction to Portugal was at the very top of the list. Naturally, we put it off to the very last minute, and finally, in late June, we made it. While the wino was driving up the coast for the Jersey Shore, directly across the Atlantic, we left for Portugal. Thanks to striking air traffic controllers in…
