I think we all need a few more azulejos in our lives. That’s the name of the painted ceramic tiles you see all over Portugal 💙

Their omnipresence in the country is thanks to Manuel I who was Portugal’s king between 1495 and 152

Am I a weirdo or does anybody else love going to supermarkets when they’re abroad? I could spend hours in any supermarket in Europe wandering around and checking out what the locals are into. I love trying things I can’t get at home and I
