Working (and eating) in Portugal

Last week I was at a conference in Lisbon with friends and colleagues from around the world. We spent many a good hour in the district of Belém, which is home to the impressive monastery built to commemorate the voyage to India by Vasco da Gama (whose tomb rests there).

While in Belém it is essential to try the local delicacies. Richard attempted the world record for pasteis consumption (beaten only by me!)...

...while Sam and Sylvain compared the sizes of their tentacles (a draw was declared).
