Exhibits A-E

It is raining in Lisbon today (as was predicted).  Observe Exhibit A. [Exhibit A, above.]

In fact, it is pouring in Lisbon today.  Observe Exhibit B. [Exhibit B, above.]

Despite predictions, my intention today was to ride the ferry to the other side of the river.  I was thwarted (refer to Exhibits A & B for just cause of thwarting).  I did make it outside just in time to procure a fine umbrella, observe Exhibit C. [Exhibit C, above.]

In spite of how well the umbrella perfroms, observe simulated live action shot, Exhibit D [Exhibit D, above.], I remain indoors with myself (and my camera (and my trusty new umbrella)) as entertainment.  Fortunately, I also have books and coffee.  Perhaps I'll learn how to order a pizza in Portugese (anticipate Exhibit F).

Lisbon is actually quite a bit like San Francisco.  There are the cable cars, the super hilly streets, all of the pigeons, the rain (observe Exhibits A & B), and the bridge that crosses the Rio Tejo which was designed by the same engineers as the Golden Gate, observe Exhibit E from sunnier days.
