The Last Supper

Members of our group gathered at the Terraco Editorial Restaurant for our last dinner together as a group. Early tomorrow morning most of the folks will fly back to North Carolina.

At first I had my doubts about this restaurant. We had to enter through a department store. We took the elevator up to the roof of the building. There we discovered a lovely dining room, with many chairs out on an outdoor balcony. We chose to eat inside, since it was a bit windy and cool outside. The Europeans sitting outside seemed to enjoy dining al fresco, though.

I had an utterly delicious sirloin steak with fries and a grilled tomato. I washed it down with a local Portuguese red wine, and ate every morsel of the food. For dessert I had the Portuguese version of Mexican flan, accompanied by a glass of tawney port.

A leisurely walk back to our hotel involved several stops along the way as the girls each yielded to the siren call of the merchants.

A great meal with great friends—what a wonderful way to wrap up this fantasy in Spain, Morocco and Portugal!Read more
