The Bacalhau Chronicles    
Portugal is home to the beloved bacalhau, or saltcod. Allegedly, there are 365 different recipes for the dish: one for each day of the year. This American girl is fixin' to find out! In the meantime, I try out other Portuguese classic dishes and fend off occasional homesickness by making American comfort foods from scratch.

Life is an open blog    
Originally from London, I met my husband whilst on holiday in Portugal 30 odd years ago and have lived here ever since. When I reached 50, it seems I became a bit of an old rambler. Instead of inteligent conversation, I now ramble on about nothing. A blog seems like a good place to do this without boring the pants off everyone within earshot. As it's a blog, it's ok to yawn and move on to the next one, leaving me to my own devices.

Expat in Lisbon    
A young man's primary aim should be to seek adventure. I decided to seek my own adventure in Portugal. My first port of call is Grande Old Lisboa. Come by and check out photos of Lisbon and other cities: Cascais, Palmela, Setúbal, and Porto. I review cafes, attractions, beaches, cuisine, and living the life of an Expat in Portugal.

Con-Toons, An Adventure Abroad    
Leaving the U.S. was not for spiritual enlightment (Eat, Love, Pray), or to run away from anything. I just wanted to challenge myself, be in a new culture, learn how to live a simple life, eat local food in season, not have a car, see how other countries view the craziness in the States. After looking at all the countries, Portugal seemed to be the best fit, so far it is just the right size. Until I left for an extended period of time, I didn’t realize how bombarded I was with too much information. Buy this, do that, be this, have that. It was exhausting! It seems the Portuguese motto is “That’s life”, with a shrug of the shoulder. People walk, the government doesn’t spend money on military, but on people. Buses, trains, special services for the elderly, health care. My stalwart companion in adventure, The Citizen, went hiking and spent time chatting with a man herding his sheep. That was a 15 minute train ride from our city apartment, that is living life…no fancy, expensive water parks, just a nice chat with a man and his sheep. I encourage anyone with itchy feet to jump out of their comfort zone and go, it’s our very own big blue marble to explore and cell phone and wireless networks are everywhere. Also, as far as I can tell, people all want the same thing everywhere, to be happy. For questions about Portugal or to advertise on my site, please contact me at constance@con-toons.com.Bom Vita!

the story of Casa Azul    
We found Casa Azul one wet Monday morning in May 2009. It was just what we were after - a decrepit farmhouse in the depths of Central Portugal. Now restored, this is the story of its, and our, continuing renaissance.
