Catching the Spirit of Exploration in Lisbon

August 1, 2014

Can you imagine sailing off into, literally, uncharted waters not knowing who or what you might encounter along the way while carrying the aspirations of your people and your king on your shoulders? I find it hard to wrap my head around, especially the bit about “uncharted waters.” But being in Lisbon, you can’t help … More Catching the Spirit of Exploration in Lisbon

Over/Under – Portugal

July 8, 2014

OVER THE TOP / UNDER THE RADAR This series of special features is designed to shine a spotlight on destinations and experiences not on the usual “tourist trail.” Enjoy! Taking a train through Portugal’s scenic Douro Valley. The train from Porto through rolling hills to reach the country’s wine region is one of the loveliest … More Over/Under – Portugal

Sea, Hills, History – Portugal’s Trifecta

July 4, 2014

Week One It seems that most Americans, us included until now, have never heard of Sintra or Cascais. Of course, we all know about Lisbon but I wonder does our knowledge even come close to touching all it has to offer. (Hardly, me thinks.) And, why is that? Why is it that every travel feature … More Sea, Hills, History – Portugal’s Trifecta

Golden hour. #lucca
Today (every day, really), I throw kisses into the air hoping the wind will take them across the sea to land softly on the cheek of this beautiful lady, my mom. Wishing you a very happy Mother’s Day Margo Lewis! 🌸🌸🌸
How can I help but throwback to this fabulous party in NYC a few years ago. “P.C.” - you know this one: pre-covid. But also, “P.R.” - meaning pre-renovation. A throwback, thanks to google photo of the day, to a long ago time when I put on clean clothes and makeup and went to fabulous parties with fabulous friends - including this one with special guest Matt Damon! 😂😂😂 Right now, as I am covered in dust and honestly cannot remember whether or not I brushed my teeth this morning, well, that seems like a different life, truly. Tell me this…WHY o why did we choose to take on another renovation project? 🤪🤪🤪 #crazyinlucca
This team! 💪 questa squadra! Renovations are not for the faint of heart, but thankfully we have these pros on our team. We really do enjoy this process (Because. We. Crazy). 🤪. #grateful #renovatinglucca #weloverenovationprojects #househuntersinternational
It’s a blue-sky-birthday kinda day. #grateful
“I didn’t realize it was a ‘concrete mixer in your living room’ scale renovation,” said a friend who stopped by yesterday to check our progress. And, I laughed. And, laughed. Concrete mixer in the lounge is hardly the half of it. So many renovation stories and pics to come. (Because…we are crazy)! 🤪
Lucca is putting on quite the spring show! 🌸 #santazita #flowerfestival #primavera2022 #luccaitaly🇮🇹
Looks like we owe a few people a spritz! Thanks for playing along, commenting, and guessing on the choices during our latest home search process. It’s been quite a trip! I love sharing these updates with you because I truly believe in the power of property voyeurism to provide us a window into life in different places.
