Belém

With our drill sergeant leading the way, we set out for Pasteis de Belem.

The monastery  began crafting its own delicacies, later known as pasteis de belem.

But as one moves back, one quickly discovers that Belem is somewhat of a maze.

Victor, true to form, shuffled us to the back where our tour began with the manager, who relayed the history of Pasteis de Belem.

With 150 employees, Belem carries a certain old-world charm.

The king arrived, the king arrived, and disembarked at Belem.

The royal family were at the palace of Belem when this tremendous calamity occurred.

I should see Santa Maria de Belem, its aerial foliage over its shipping and squalor.

I ventured, when we got out, to suggest that we might perhaps have spent a pleasanter afternoon at Belem.

The King, in bequeathing the seven volumes to the convent of Belem, says nothing about such an origin.
