Thu 12 Jun- Pousada Sao Vicente, 'Bom Jesus'

Thu 12 Jun- the Pousada Sao Vicente has a very nice dining room for breakfast, and a nice buffet. We visited the famous religious retreat/sanctuary 'Bom Jesus'. It's actually famous for the stairway, the 'Escadaria do Bom Jesus', which we walked down, and then back up. We walked around, had beer at Hotel do Parque, took the tourist train/bus around, then returned to the Pousada to work on the Internet.
We went out for supper to 'Restaurante Inacio: 1/2 bottle 'Vinho Verde da Casa', E4; 'Espetada de Lulus', E12 (skewered squid with other veggies); 'Espetada Mist', E12 (mixed skewered meat-beef, ham, tomato, & peppers); 'Mousse de Manga, E3.20 (mango mousse, made with egg yolk and condensed milk, rich and sweet). The squid with broiled potato and sautéed vegetables, the meat with french fries and nice greens/carrot/cabbage salad. The skewers were presented vertically, in an interesting way and were easier to unskewer the food and eat.
