In my last travel post about our trip to the Azores of Portugal I talked about our final destination on the Island of Sao Jorge. In that post I wrote about leaving the island by ferry to the adjacent island

Its been a few weeks since I did a #Beersaturday post. I'm drinking less beer these days so it takes little longer. I also bought a few repeat German Style festbiers that I liked. They were only being

The snow came early this year. Much too early. It snowed quite heavily a few weeks ago and we just got another dumping of snow last night and a few days ago. November is very early for this sort of thing

Its been a while since I posted about meals that I've made. The last post on the subject was back in the winter or maybe early spring. At that time I was eating a lot of stews - beef bourguignon or what

For this #beersaturday I have a new beer to review (its an IPA), along with an oldie but a goodie (Guinness) and just for fun as a bonus I've added in a fancy purple Gin drink. Let's get to it! Lone Pine

Day three on the Sao Jorge island started out similar to the previous day. It was rainy and over cast outside and we struggled in the morning to come up with something to do for the day. We had planned
