Spanish and Portuguese culture seems to have a fascination with death. I've never seen such cemeteries! | |
The girl on this busy Lisbon street caught my eye. What is she thinking? She seems oblivious to the busy city life around her. | |
And, much to the chagrin and embarrassment of my good friend, João, Oxcarts are still in use. I teased João before I arrived that he should not take any trouble to meet me, just drive the family oxcart out! He indignantly told me that no one had an oxcart, Portugal is a modern country. So as soon as we arrived at his parents country home what did we see? An oxcart! | |
And as we drove around town, at almost every turn, we ran into the SAME oxcart. I couldn't have paid them for a better joke! :-) |
