Release Notes 2023 (Portugal)
Joe Cieplinski and I co-organized Release Notes 2023 held April 14-16, 2023 in Lisbon, Portugal. This was the first event we organized since the onset of the global Covid pandemic. After the conference finished, Heather and I traveled to Lagos, Portugal and explored the Algarve for several days.
The view from the Moorish Castle in Sintra is amazing. #ReleaseNotes2023

Currently receiving a lecture on “the potato pyramid” from our Irish guests, which seems like the Irish version of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. #ReleaseNotes2023

Next stop: Cantinho do Aziz, serving Mozambique and Indian fusion cuisine, representing the colonial heritage of Portugal. Served was beef samosas and shrimp curry. No photos of the food. It disappeared to fast! ?#ReleaseNotes2023 #food

This stop is my favorite so far. Bacalhoaria Silva has specialized in dried cod, ham, cheese and wine since 1890. The ham we had (the Portuguese version of Iberico ham) melts in your mouth, and the wine was fantastic—and only €7.50 per 750ml retail! #Releasenotes2023 #wine
