Those carts are surprisingly fast.
But we pack 'em to the brim anyways.

Urban camouflage.

There is no picture that exists that can convey how far up we wanted to be.
I can't say for sure how many stories up we were, but we were clearly well above surrounding buildings.

I looked diseased.
It was AWful.

I did remember to take a picture from the top of Pena Palace though

Swear to god.
It's like Lenin.

The REALLY weird thing though?
There's only about one picture of it on the web (barely).
And NOBODY talks about it.
I have scoured the internet and there's not a peep.

Does anyone know about this?

For someone like me, who can never decide what to eat, having a place to go (packed to the brim with perfectly prepared food) is heaven.
Clearly we need these here.

It's really kinda like New York in the summer.
Except that they have siestas.

Which means, in the summer, in the middle of the day, NO ONE IS OUT.
Locals don't start venturing out until 2-3, when they get light tapas meals.
And then dinner doesn't formally start until 9ish.

It was pretty damn pleasant.
The bits I was awake for.

Soon.
