Lisbon Street
The ROYAL Gazelle is the way to cycle around downtown. I spotted an IBM Selectric typewriter, which begs the question: Are they still using them along with Vinyl records, in Portugal? Anyway the nostalgia is not lost as this was one of my favorite machines, because of the different font changes.
Local Cafe
I did not vote for Starbucks today. Instead a Bica and a Pastes Que Nada at a local cafe. -Gr8!

The first Word Processor is making a comeback
"I also biked along the river bank for 3k to try the Pastéis de Belém's Pastes Que Nada - freshly baked - just as delicious"
