WTF Lisbon?

Traveling is wonderful! You get to see new things and experience a new culture. You also get to see some things that will leave you scratching your head. Here are a couple from Lisbon:

- Accordion players and dogs. Apparently a thing here. We saw at least three. When I saw an accordion player who didn't have a dog I was tempted to call him an imposter. 

- The sidewalks here are very narrow. Like, two people can't walk side by side narrow. So when you come across someone going in the opposite direction, one of you has to step into the (also very narrow) street. Except for where they're very wide - nearly eight feet across. Which is great! That means you can park your car there. So the actual space to walk is quickly reduced back to "too narrow for two people at a time". There was a lot of walking in single file in Lisbon. 

- If you listen to the radio, you can hear recent music out of North America. However, if someone is playing music - at a bar or an event or whatever - it's invariably top forty stuff from at least three years ago. I guess people just prefer the older stuff? They obviously have access to new music and choose not to listen to it. 

Cheating because it's not actually Lisbon:

This was in the bus terminal in Faro. It is the first three feet of a bus, sticking out of a wall. I choose to believe that it crashed through and was left there as a warning to other buses not to mess with the terminal in Faro. Don't start things you can't finish, buses.
