Pursuing pastéis



We are experiencing some connectivity problems, so this entry is very short and sans photographs. The better part of the day was spent in Belém (which is about 45 minutes from our hotel on the transit system). What we will say is that the pastéis de nata is so good in Belém that they don´t even call it pastéis de nata - they call it pastéis de Belém! They claim to have invented it there and who´s to argue - it was incredibly good at the establishment by the same name (Pastéis de Belém) which was established in 1837.

It was fairly muggy today, so we can only give the weather a nice 2.0.

your pics are way too big. I am on a T1 line and they are too slow for me to bother to view. I liked it better when they were small and at the bottom of the post.
