Eating & drinking…in the streets

 

In Portugal it’s considered bad form to grab a bite to eat or eat your food standing on the street.  Meals should be enjoyed sitting down and taken slowly.  HOWEVER, drinking is another story.  Impromptu and informal parties outside in public spaces - bring it on!

Alan and I were sitting outside in a nice little town square and all of a sudden someone decided it was a great time for some lively music.  People of all ages came out of nowhere with their favorite beverage in hand.  It was an instant party, some danced, some talked but all were ready for immediate joy!…their favorite saying; why not!!!
