Portuguese
Saturday, June 28th, 2008
Located north of Lisbon, shown above is Vasco Da Gama Bridge, the longest in Europe, and one of those monuments, institutions and a port city in Goa that immortalized this great Portuguese explorer Vasco Da Gama.
One day, four Portuguese came by the flat (in Paris) and stayed for 3 days. I said I always wanted to visit Portugal because my grandpa had a Portuguese lineage, in fact he was 6’3’’ tall. They said matter-of-factly, “But Portuguese people are not tall. Look at us, shorties.…” I would have wanted to argue that his Portuguese blood made grandpa tall, but decided against it.
