Call out the morning light, embrace the singing colors on the horizon, the sweet taste of blackberries. Listen to the song of the crickets on the hills, and dance to the sound of the wind blowing. Yes, summer is in full swing after all. Let the tired and sweaty nights caress the innocence of the children frolicking in the night while smiling at the moon and enjoy the ride.

And that’s how we roll. Summer in Lisbon, Portugal. Love the concept of sitting on the stairs while dining.

So, I have been a way, cruising the earth and savoring delicious goodies. In the meantime, my journeys have taken me to… and hope to share more later!

IMG_4895I said hello to the Queeny and believe me, she replied back… on my dreams!

IMG_6205Bern said pick me, pick me but it did not ring any smile, so we just drove by!

IMG_5458Zurich said Hallo up the mountain. They speak German over there, did you know that?

IMG_5986Stopped by a little town, Baden for a few zzz’s. Loved, loved, loved it!

Smile Right Back

It was another beautiful day in mind and spirit, and it was smiling at you. Hope you smiled right back. Yes, the desert may be arduous to cross sometimes, the mountain steep leaving you to feel that your life is insignificant but it is often promising as there is always a bright light at the end of the tunnel. Keep going. Keep marching. Don’t look back. Open the door and smile at it and its purpose. Climb up the stairs of the restaurant. Celebrate its perfectly lined up menu and embrace it. Be grateful. Stay still. Move that mountain. Rejoice. Tomorrow is always another day but often beautiful. Don’t let the curtain go down on you. Smile right back at it.
