• Year 2017: Best Place to Dine in Lisbon is…

  

  Drumroll please….. Meson Andaluz Address: Travessa do Alecrim nº 4 1200-019 Lisboa I can’t recommend Meson Andaluz enough! We had two amazing evenings in this wonderful little restaurant. Carlos recommended the most delicious regional tapas. The care given to each dish, the ambience, the indulgent service, and attention to little details made all the difference.…

• Last Day in Lisbon: Walk With Us

  

  An indelible memory of Lisbon will be our walks along the Tagus river. The evening market, buzz of people, music, and the sound of tinkling glasses. A city during the evening, and at night, has a different character. It crawls out from under its mask and truly reveals itself. I feel closer, more connected with…

• Lisbon day 5: Let’s Go to Alfama

  

  Apoorva said the streets of Alfama reminded him of Ajmer back in the day. I could see this, the curling narrow roads akin to gullies, windows that face each other making room for glances or chats, blinking cats that seemed to be in a languid trance, and Tram 28 meandering through like a boa who…

• Lisbon day 3: Oceanario, Mercado, and Urban trekking

  

  On the third day in Lisbon my true love said to me, Wear walking shoes, eat good breakfast, and take pictures plentifully…. For children and grown-up children like me the Oceanario de Lisboa is a wondrous place. Aquariums are such a joy, their darkness cocoons you, you feel isolated from the world, above and beyond,…

• Lisbon day 1 and 2: the food and Sintra

  

  I have left my heart in Lisbon. I truly have. Every corner there was sheer poetry. When we left for Portugal my heart was broken, shattered to many tiny jagged bits, and I felt disappointed, with life, and with myself for having put my body and soul through the wringer again. Lisbon stitched the frayed…
