portugal 2004, 2005, 2008 Atlantic Ocean (the Sea of the Widows)

During the short one day tour outside Lisbon, we stopped atNazaré to have a traditional dinner in a restaurant facing thesea. To be honest, I was expecting to have it also in a traditionalrestaurant - well this was not the case. But, at least, the restaurantwas located upper on the slope to those rocks, so we had a beautifulview. What was traditional were the black scarves with brodery whichcould be bought. By chance, I had a Hungarian folk dress with me,which was with flower brodery on black background (to make it moreinteresting, since otherwise Hungarians use white as a background),and since the traditional Portuguese brodery is rather floral thangeometric (at least what I've seen), everybody thought that's aPortuguese dress ...

As stated in the caption, the guide told us that the sea here iscalled sea of the widows. It was very dangerous for fishermen, andmany lost their lifes. Today, there is an 'artificial' fishing port.

No, I haven't cloned out any people from the beach; I have just foundan empty spot.

thanks for looking and reading
