Lisbon: Cathedral and Coastal outpost

Lisbon really is one of my favorite places I've been so far. It's beautiful and the white stucco makes everything brighter and better illuminated, bringing life to the streets. We went on another walking tour, visiting the cathedral holding the tomb of Vasco de Gama, Portugal's greatest sailor. The cathedral was full of maritime imagery, with sea shells, ropes, and seaweed being carved all over the walls.

Constructed right alongside the cathedral was a beautiful cloister.

We then walked over to a nearby small castle, that was beautifully sticking out of the water right along the shore. On the way we saw a monument to Portuguese navigation. It's currently being restored, but we were able to get the general idea of it.

From there we went and got lunch- most notably more of the paséis, from what is supposedly the best place to get them in the world. I have only tried two spots (the other being reportedly the best in Evora) and it definitely was even better than the first ones. The dough was flaky and perfect, the custard gooey and creamy, and they were just wonderful. I, once again, got six of them.
