A life lived between two worlds
Rockies → Riviera
Scroll
A house takes a name. Ours comes from Lisbon, and from Calouste Gulbenkian, a man of two worlds who built something lasting between them. We are building ours the same way, between the high Rockies of Colorado and the Mediterranean coast of France. The road that runs between is the whole story. We call it Rockies to Riviera.
The Rockies in him. Rivers, high country, the long way around.
The Riviera in her. Cities, coastlines, an eye for the good.
Under the great dome of the Muhammad Ali Mosque.
Durango, Colorado. Alpine air, high passes, the San Juans out the back door.
The South of France. The coast in summer, the slow good life.
A few years of two worlds, and the road between. Everywhere we have set our feet, and the list keeps growing.
