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.
I did not vote for Starbucks today. Instead a Bica and a Pastes Que Nada at a local cafe. -Gr8!
