white bridge

Wednesday, November 11, 2009





The promenade, cable cars, a partial view of Lisbon's Nation's Park, where the Expo '98 World Exhibition took place. In the background: the Vasco da Gama bridge (1998), the longest bridge in Europe ( 17.2 km /10.7 miles). The "watery part" is the Tagus River, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean in Lisbon.


Below find another partial view of the park with little water but a  pretty reflection....

Visiting Lisbon last week, I ran into this poster and Ruby Tuesday came immediately to my mind!! Now you know it's been played at a theater - not near you, but in Lisbon. And you know the name in Portuguese: O Feiticeiro de Oz .


I got thirsty so I ordered a diet c*oke, which is called "light" in Europe and it looked like this:

A quick post - but delicious, nonetheless - with a shot from last week's short visit to Lisbon.
Pastel de Nata or Pastel de Belém is a small cream tart found throughout Portugal’s pastry shops or cafés. Casa Pastéis de Belém in Lisbon was the birthplace of this creamy dessert, and there they’re called Pastel de Belém, after the name of this Lisbon’s area. Since 1837, locals have come here to get them warm out of the oven and sprinkle them with cinnamon and powdered sugar...

What the wiki says about them can be found here. And I found one recipe here
