A great intro to my favorite city in the whole world. Katie and I just returned from a little wander around the Lisboa area and we recommend it to anyone who likes seafood, vinho verde, port, castles, beaches, and just general old world charm.

A Literary Road Trip Into the Heart of Russia
I feel like every week I'm tempted to call out an article as one you really need to click on. I'm continually amazed in general by the eclectic richness of what ends up in here.
