This one won’t take very long, but at least one of the things I was concerned about, being the Oregonian I am (I am unapologetically a beer and coffee snob), has finally been resolved here in Braga. What could it possibly be?

Well, another week of living in Portugal has passed and they haven’t kicked us out yet. Join us on another of my not-so-random musings about our transition. This time I comment on wine, weather and bathroom light switches, among other things. So take a few minutes to kick back and read about how the adventure is going for us.

We officially live in Braga, Portugal! It’s not just that, by the time you read this, we’re actually living in our house. No, that’s not enough to make you official. You officially live somewhere when you receive mail addressed to you at that location, and that happened this week! Join us online to find out what else did and did not happen since the last time we checked in.

It may have taken me a few days to get this post out, but the past few days have been a bit hectic despite Portugal having two holidays the past 2 days. Still, I hope to keep to my word and start posting more often to keep you in the loop of our lives and to keep the habit going for when trips get really interesting! So what’s our first few days in Braga been like?
