Jerónimos

Across the street from the Monument to the Discoveries you find, O Mosteiro dos Jerónimos:
*Picture take from atop the Monument to the Discoveries.
This monastery, AKA Hieronymites Monastery, is the epitome of the Manueline architectural style. It's in the part of Lisbon call Santa Maria de Belém. A good portion of the important personalities in Portuguese history are buried here: Camões, Vasco de Gama, Sebastião isn't buried here--which is the important part--but has an empty tomb marking his death (grand return in hazy morning fog).
This monastery is also important to me for another reason much more sporty and pop culture-y. This is where I saw footballer Cristiano Ronaldo. Well he looked more like this when I saw him. He walked in with an entourage of publicists, a cameraman ready to film and who knows who else. The first thing I thought? "Huh, that's Cristiano Ronaldo." Second thing? "Wow, he has really ugly hair." It was a sort of faux-hawk in the front, shaved on the side, and a mini mullet in the back. None of these pictures do justice to the length and haphazard nature of the mullet. But it was sure something.
