Lemonade
Our arrival in Edinburgh was met with some unexpected challenges, but by the end of our first day we managed to make lemonade out of lemons.
Road Trips
Even though the cities offered so much to see, we are so glad we fit in road trips that took us out to some truly special places.
Quirky Valencia
For us, part of the charm of Valencia has been from some of the quirky little things we discovered quite by accident.
In Search of Paella
If you ask the question "Where did Paella originate?", the undisputed answer is Valencia. So trying it here was a must.

Once we started visiting museums in Valencia we began to fall in love with the rich culture of the city.
Sintra with a Local
Sintra and Cascais can be touristy, but by choosing a local's AirBNB experience, we were able to enjoy them from a different perspective.

It took a little effort to warm up to Valencia, Spain, but then we hit our stride and made some great discoveries.
Tower of Belém
Well worth the long walk, the Tower of Belem and the Monument of the Discoveries are incredible landmarks telling the story of Portugal's explorations.
Cobble
Everywhere you go in Lisbon, neighborhood after neighborhood, you will often find designs in cobble.
