Snapshots of Portugal from Vit

Vitriolica Webb has some of her crazy drawings of Portuguese life through her eyes on Shortcut.

This one is my favourite. I must remember to take a photo of the Piaggio - a carrito for the papa reformas - that parks in line with the slick new BMW outside my appartment. It's the arms hanging onto the side (and the cigarrette) that do it for me with this picture.

I contemplate getting one myself (not the BMW). Easy to park, economical on gas, space for my mountain bike - and it would discourage my kids from asking me for lifts.
