Portuguese Sweetness in a Glass 26 Mar 2016 4:36 AM (9 years ago)
What does Cleopatra and the French Sun King have in Common? The queen of Egypt and Louis XIV of France's favorite tipple had everything to do with a certain little grape named the Muscat. Making honey-tongued wine from ancient times right up to the present day. The Muscat is one of the wine gifts from Ancient times. Transplanted and well traveled across the Mediterranean from Italy, Spain and surpassing itself in the vineyards south of Portugal's...

Here in Lisbon however, the story of Christ's birth appears prominently on the streets, in churches and even in shopping malls, shining small and large in the shape of nativity scenes that started long ago with St Francis of Assis's visit to the holy land. Inspired by his...
Lisbon A Perfect Day 21 Dec 2014 10:26 AM (10 years ago)
Lisbon such a perfect day, oh such a perfect day. Late December's heavenly blue tops a golden cape and carpet , inviting a traveller to sit awhile and muse in Lisbon's favorite garden. No Autumn tints from deciduous trees spray the seven hills here a burnished hue, but prehistoric Ginkgo's little fans give up their green as Christmas comes. A bench awaits for weary legs in Lisbon's garden of the Star, where a tourist can emerge a traveller again. Turn your eyes aloft to whitened Christian...

Lisbon loves Hot Days & White Wine When the Summer returns with sizzling hot sunny weather on the first days of October, just pour youself a nice glass of Lisbon White Wine and snack on Partridge Sausage, thats what I did. Better still the label was stuck on this bottle of white wine the night before and I visited the windmill on the label after the meal! This wine, discovered by the Duke of Wellington, while he was kicking Napoleon out of Portugal, it was so good it became King...

The Day Lisbon Burned 25 Aug 2013 2:40 AM (11 years ago)
Lisbon Burned 25 Years Ago One of Lisbon's more recent calamities - not as devestating at the great earthquake - but it still wiped out a major part of downtown & along with it a bygone time. Lisbon's Chiado has bounced back, many of the old places are gone & new establishments have opened their doors. For me with memories of how it once was, there is almost a parallel universe there that I can easily take you back to - interwoven into one of my custom private tours - don't miss the...
