elusivekOn my daily dog walk with Frankie this morning, he took me (yes, he decides the route) up the Penha Hill and we walked past a fancy rich people housing estate. He wanted to walk into the non-gated part of it. I tried to liaise with him, explaining that it's just a dead end and we'd have to u-turn and walk back all the way up.
Frankie is a dog (frenchie at that) and doesn't understand any sort of negotiation, so, yeah, we walked down that road and had to u-turn back up. The bastard.
Then we went up the Penha Hill and walked the main road down the other way. We walked past this building that only now I noticed had the words SKYLINE on it. Did a quick internet search and found only one reference.
In the evening I asked Dad and he said it's who-and-who's home and that back then when he drove Father (didn't catch the name) he would drive him to this house (and another one of a local tycoon). He said it's just a residencial house, and that it's huge.
Here's a random old 1976 photo of the Vienna Hilton opening team soon after it opened. A friend of my Dad's on Facebook posted it, Dad isn't tagged but he's an easy find LOL. I just thought I'd archive it myself as well.
When Frankie the Frenchie is bored, he'll find whatever trouble to vex us all. Yesterday morning, a piece of cleaning cloth. And then it's a wrestling match
Random photos of food... Dad sometimes takes the shortcut and just gets IKEA cinnamon rolls. Though, he doesn't follow the instructions on the packaging. The packaging says to just take out and bake it without defrosting. The rolls come out hard when you do it this way. Dad lets the frozen rolls defrost first, then bakes them, and they get all soft and nice and DELICIOUS. Kitty (yes, the cat's name, seriously) was curious. And the other dish with the beautiful sunny side up is the minchi, famous Macanese dish of minced meat and fried cubed potatoes. Usually served with white rice, but I have to minimize the carbs. But the deep fried cubed potatoes were just toooooooo gooooooooood.
La-di-da! I started a tag for Frankie on IG. Since he's the one that decides his dog walking route, I sometimes take some photos of him at certain locations and post it on the dogs' IG, sort of introducing Macau as well, LOL.
On this one he is sitting in front of the A-Ma Temple. Legend has it that when the Portuguese first arrived, they arrived at this "Inner Harbour" and this is where the first conversations of the Portuguese and Chinese was had. The Maritime Museum is also situated here, just across the plaza. Wiki Link because I'm lazy.
