Fado

Fado

Ladies, I left off reading Frances Mayes "A Year in the World" for some reason, who knows what. I picked it back up as they were headed to Portugal. Now I know about fado. Here is a little sample for you:



If anyone has been to Lisbon or to any part of Portugal, I am interested in your impressions of the place. I had never really thought about going there but things change...

I have been to Lisbon. My impressions are that it IS one of the dirtiest European cities I have ever been to.

I was only in Portugal for a few days. Perhaps the countryside and the beaches would be nicer...but...a big thumbs down for me on Lisbon.

Thanks, Maggie. A friend at work has visited and she said Portugal was as close as she has ever been to "a third world country".
