Lisbon - Royal Gazelles & Typewriter Tales
Nostalgia Chapter 01

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 also biked along the river bank for 3k to try the Pastéis de Belém's Pastes Que Nada - freshly baked - just as delicious"

From the place that gave the wine its very name Porto , I am walking down cobblestone streets in medieval times juxtaposed with modernity.

Urban Rambling Through the Centro district was a walk in the park.
