Meet The Mint Man

In our neighborhood there's a guy the neighbors call the Mint Man. Everyday he delivers fresh mint to every bar and restaurant that he can reach on foot. The local commerce depends on him, and once in a while when you order a dish requiring mint, the servers have to apologize because the Mint Man hasn't come by that day. ;( But this neighborly system still works well and old fashioned camaraderie lives on...

Dinner With A View

Shots of us from tonight's dinner with our neighbor. His place of course ;)

New Project In Europe

This is a story of a little village in Portugal that sits on the Saint James Way Pilgrimage Trail.

 Where there is a big red house for sale.

And in front of that big red house there is a park, where pilgrims sleep under the tree because there are no accommodations for them.

 This is the story of our Portugese Church that would like to transform the building into a ministry house.

Where they can welcome pilgrims and seekers all year round. 

All that remains is to buy the building. 

Happy 10th Anniversary

It's only the most gourmet pastry, found *exclusively* in high end tea salons... and now McDonalds.

Celebrating One Year Visas

We would love to have a more permanent residency card, but for right now all we have is a one year card. Picked up (photo) July 1st 2011 Expires March 2012

Many of you know we have applied for nationality, and we were refused the first time. So now we have a file waiting on someones desk to be reviewed again. We feel like France is home, I do hope we get to be French someday.
