Shopping
On December 23, 2018 by brian.haferkampBecause kitchens and refrigerators are generally smaller overseas, it is more common to go shopping regularly. We have a couple of different supermarkets nearby. One is called, Pingo Doce. It’s a smaller local market that has the essentials. It also has the added bonus of being next to the bakery we have adopted 😍 Our

Oh, the Seafood
On December 22, 2018 by brian.haferkampAfter spending the day working on our special family project, we decided to stay closer to home for dinner on Friday. We are staying in a house above the town of Caxias (kah-shyee-ahs). So we went exploring this little town. The restaurants take a break from about 2pm to 7pm. We were early, so we

Burgers in Lisbon
On December 20, 2018 by brian.haferkampYesterday we had a craving for a burger. We weren’t sure if we were out of luck or if there was a good burger joint somewhere in the city.

Keturah has remarked on how similar it is to both

Getting Settled In
On December 18, 2018 by brian.haferkampAfter our long trip, we just needed to make sure we got some sleep. So we slept in for the morning and got a late start. Our only plan for today was to get some groceries. With much fanfare we accomplished our goal 😊 We went to a supermarket called, Continente, at a shopping center

Arrival–6 Airports and 5 Cities Later
On December 17, 2018 by brian.haferkampWe arrived safe and sound at about 1am. We’re tired and ready to go to bed. We haven’t slept much for about a day, so I expect tomorrow will be quite restful.

And We’re Off!
On December 17, 2018 by brian.haferkampDay One has been pretty eventful so far. I’m sitting in the airport in Paris as I begin to detail the day (that is not quite finished). We originally planned to spend the month in Paris, but with the outbreak of the Yellow Vest riots downtown (not far from the place we were staying) we
