Re: Lazy in Lisbon

Regarding the near death experience in Sintra: please chock this up to my indulgent over-dramatic poetic license. Thank you for the concerned emails, but it wasn't as bad as all that. Guess I'm a little too convincing in my tales. :(

The reality is I had a little stumble, but it was in no way life endangering. Just one of those moments where your heart leaps into your throat. If I HAD fallen it would have been onto some remarkably plush green grass about 6 feet down. I would have been fine. Though I doubt the camelia bush between me and the ground would have faired so well!

But rest assured I intend to be much more careful.

Today I'm off in search of a Lisbon specialty. PASTRIES! Yes. Beautiful creamy, butt enlarging tarts are the goal of the day. It would be a crime not to sample such delicacies!
