Hello, hello! Happy, happy Tuesday! (But not really…is it just me or is this week DRAGGING? It should be at least Thursday by now!). But anyway, enough about the week and let’s back up to the weekend. This weekend was strange in that I spent a lot of it alone, but I also did a […]

Ah, what a life I have to be able to spend 48 hours in Porto, Portugal. Just a quick hop, skip and jump from Spain, it’s the perfect weekend travel destination. There were some inexpensive flights available, so we jumped on it and went! These 48 hours in Porto, Portugal were my second trip […]
