THAT'S MY WORLD TUESDAY # 31

Photo by Sailor Girl of part of Belém's view, as seen from the monument to the Discoveries (Padrão dos Descobrimentos). You may actually see the building where the Pastéis de Belém (the famous Lisbon custard cream cakes) are made and sold. I am really sorry for my long absence but have neither been able to post nor to reply to your kind comments! A contribution to THAT'S MY WORLD TUESDAY.
