It is mid October and the last day of our trip to Northern Portugal. We spent a few wonderful days in Porto followed by a another few in the Duoro wine region, where we had lot of great food and wine. This morning we drive from our fantastic house in Santa Marinho do Zezere back to Porto. For the final day, I have booked a special restaurant: Casa De Cha Da Boa Nova. A famous 2 Michelin star restaurant: we are in for a lunch in Porto to remember.
When I got an offer from Marriott Vacation club for a three night stay in their Newport Coast Villas, we turned it into a culinary adventure, exploring SoCal. I had been to Newport once on a business trip and had always wanted to go back. We started our culinary adventure with a lunch in Santa Barbara on our way down. We ended it in style, with brunch in Long Beach on our way back. In between we sampled lunch and dinners in Newport and Catalina Island. We ended up having a couple of delicious days.
