Forty-Three: Pastis de Nata

Lisbon is gritty. 'Lived in'. But there are lots of interesting things to see; Jeronimos Monastery, Belem Tower, St. George's Castle, the Alfama and Barrio Alto neighborhoods, the tiled buildings sidewalks and streets, the views (miradouros). There are fun things to do; ride the trams, elevators and funiculars, sit in cafes and squares with glasses of Ginja, walk the waterfront, visit the Museums. And there are great things to eat; seafood, stews, roasts, pasteis de natas, dinner at A Travessa.

Everyone says 'go to Sintra for the day', but we were foiled by time and weather. Next time...

And we thought putting our driveway in was a big deal. All these places look like they have plenty of venues for self-defense.
