Last bratwurst before America


Don't laugh. On the Cabo de Sao Vicente, about as far west in Portugal as you can go without being in the Azores, there's a hotdog stand. Well, a bratwurst stand, for all the German tourists that swarm around the outpost of Prince Henry the Navigator (he actually preferred other parts of the Algarve--too windy here). There are lots of poncho, sweater, and other vendors along the path to the fort, and if you say nothing, they will address you in German. And the letzte bratwurst vor Amerika is really, really,good. I haven't enjoyed one so much since OLGS took me to a Brewers game back in the dark ages, circa 1973. I believe the Brewers won that day.
