Pao de Lo de Saojo

 Expect a ton of posts about Portugal to pop up within the next month. We're only about five weeks away from our return trip this summer and a combination of Portugal starting to dominate my thoughts (even more) and the need to make sense of the hundreds of pictures from last year's trip will finally inspire me to get organized. One of the great finds from the last trip was the little village of Saojo, tucked high up in the mountains of northern Portugal. It's even more isolated than Lindoso, but there's a lot more going on there. Here's the lovely local delicasy - the Pao-de-Lo de Saojo - a sponge cake.

Initially Janet and I were mortified that they had the temerity to place a grainery on the box, until we discovered that they actually have more graineries than Lindoso (more on that later).

A perfectly civilized way to spend an afternoon, even if it was 104 degrees in the shade.
