Pequena coisas 5

Bom dia,
For those interested in the fuel cap dramas the key worked perfectly for the boys when they tried it Tuesday at work and its still going OK now. What the?!

For those interested in cultural commentary - a SAPO internet poll found that 67% of Portuguese believe its easier to buy a car than to buy the registration stamp/re-register the car. Welcome to Portuguese bureaucracy.

For those interested in hearing more, sorry but at the moment I don't have the time or the brainpower to write - busy couple of weeks finishing things up and also the delight my cousin visiting. Tour guiding has taken me to the same places you've seen before: Evora, Estremoz, the beach and while I have new and different photos I will save them for another time. We were planning to go to Conimbriga on Sunday (the site of the most extensive Roman town/site in Portugal) which would have been new but "technical difficulties"/laziness prevented that. One new place we went to was Setubal, a port city on the coast south of Lisbon, but we were only there for snails, shells and beer so not a lot of tourist photos or info here. Due to the town's merchant heritage the narrow streets of the old town are lined with shops, not cafes or houses, and commerce and industry are immortalised in ceramic.
