set up.

After that, we drove to Belem and we went to Pastis del Belem, which is an old pastry shop.

Luke talked to me.

There in the port of Belém, they waited three days for a fair wind, and then the voyage began.

began.A Portuguese writer said, So many tears were shed when they were sailing away that the shore may well be named the Shore of Tears.

And Camoens, the great poet of Portugal, wrote, Unaccounted as the grains of golden sand, the tears of thousands fell on Belem's strand.

The ships were so long sailing down the coast of Africa that the sailors became discouraged.

They insisted that the land must extend entirely across the sea and that it had no end.

And I find that Fabrica de Nata does the best job in Porto.

If you are in Lisbon, I would highly recommend going to like the OG original Pesteis de Belém, which is in this little area, Belém, B-E-L-E-M, which is basically you go down to the coast and you're heading, I believe, west.

And this is like the original Pesteis de Belém, the original Nata.

Okay.

Great.

After the tour, our guide surprised us with some very popular pastries in Portugal.

The Pastéis de Belém, I think.

Yeah, that's

where they came from.
