 If you look closely, not only is the driver napping in the driver's seat, but there's also a man napping underneath the truck right behind the wheels!!  better not back up!!

 We made some Spanish ERASMUS students from Madrid and other places studying abroad in Lisbon.  All the Spaniards were in the street after Spain beat Italy in the Eurocup.
 
 My new friend.
 
 This is the spaniard that initiated contact with us after hearing us loud americans in the street.  He heard us speaking english and immediately wanted us to spend the evening with them.

 We unfortunately left the day before one of their Saint's day fiestas, but we saw all the decorations for it.

 I took this pic because of the cool light and shadow of his hands and cards on his shirt, but it actually turned out to be a pretty good pic of Starrett!!

 I'm really glad that the volunteer fire dept has little pedal bike things to race to when there's a fire...seriously what do they do with these??
