VIDEO

After we visited Dos Jeronimos monastery we went to see the historic Belem Tower. Unfortunately, due to construction work on it, we were not allowed to go into the tower itself. However, I did take a few photos that reveals its unique architecture. After that a great tragedy was blessedly averted as I describe in the video. Let it serve as a warning to NEVER eat anything sold by street vendors in Portugal.

Let this be a YUUUUUGE warning about buying food from street vendors in other countries. I thought it would be okay because I had just a small piece of pineapple and strawberry but within 15 seconds of swallowing them, it was like a fuse had been lit in my stomach. Oddly, though, my wife was unaffected even though she ate way more of the fruit than I did.

Just curious, what was averted?

An explosive ejection of volcanic lava running all over.

Have they repaired all the damage from the earthquake?

I could eat a half dozen Pasteis de Belém. I loved Lisbon but Aveiro and Porto were awesome.

I see this warning in most countries, but some people like to tempt fate.
