The travel to Lisbon

The travel was not too far for me, nevertheless I took some notes and pictures. 

I felt somehow watched by CIA and got nearly afraid, but some moments later I could watch the very special design done by the portuguese railways, their seat and the sun.

Next time to be afraid was not too far from Santarem - the "gothic capital of Ribatejo".
A travel mate was dressed in black, but it was especially his ring which cought my attention.
After asking for permission I took a picture and thought by myself refering to my friend google: "Gothic fashion is a clothing style worn by members of the Goth subculture; a dark, sometimes morbid, , eroticized fashion and style of dress" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothic_fashion)
 Sometimes things really fit together!

The next pictures are from a gift shop in Oriente railway station in Lisbon. 

Did I mention that soccer is very important in Portugal?
The upper items are from the clubs in Lisbon ...
 ... but very near to the floor, on dog's legs height there would be a selection of Porto's soccer club merchandising articles.
Okay, just fine as this is in Lisbon - have to check the arrangements in Porto next time :-)

Later in the evening the project team came together for a welcome dinner and some street sellers had quite funny items to try (and buy) for us. I took some pictures - but I am even afraid to ask for publishing permission :-)
So this stays for imagination!
