Impersonating Pessoa

Netchie wearing Fernando Pessoa’s hat and sitting at his table in Martinho da Arcada - with Leyna impersonating his friend, as in the old photo on the wall. Netchie is quite a poet in her own right, and Pessoa is possibly Portugal’s best known poet.

In extra, the sisters under the arches, with Martinho da Arcada in the background.

We later also visited Pessoa’s statue outside A Brasileira, and saw his famous glasses.

A long day, that ended almost an hour ago, as in, it’s now almost 1am. But we did get a nap in the middle.

Gratefuls:
- beginning the day with pastéis de Belém
- a ride in a tuk tuk
- ending the day with a great Portuguese meal just off Praça de Camões, whose tomb we admired at the Jerónimos church
