This morning we came to Pastéis de Belém again to have some more pastéis de nata (the ones we took out yesterday were not as good after several hours). |
First of all, coffee and, |
Of course pastéis de nata. |
And, a salted cod fritter that we tasted yesterday (and we liked!). |
In addition, I order this one, without knowing what it was, by pointing the finger at it in the showcase. |
It turns out that this was a kind of pastry with chicken meat inside (called "empada). The dough was very flaky and good. |
After we got satisfied with the good breakfast, we went to the Jerónimos Monastery that we couldn't get inside of. |
Inside, it felt very solemnity. In this church are the stone tombs of Vasco da Gama and Luís de Camões. |
This one is for Vasco da Gama. |
And this one is for Luís de Camões. |
Both tombs were sculpted with ships and ropes, reflecting the age of Portuguese discoveries/exploration of Africa and India. |
Of course stained glasses are there, too. |
The statue of Mary. |
Although I am not a Christian, churches make me feel awed. |
