As always, thank you so much for your visits, comments and faves!
This is a detail from the Monument to the Discoveries which is a memorial statue dedicated to Henry the Navigator. It stands in the harbor of Lisbon, Portugal near the mouth of the Tagus River. It was permanently erected in 1960 to honor Prince Henry who led the voyages of discovery into the New World in the 15th Century. The Portuguese were legendary mariners & explorers. One can barely imagine risking the treacherous waters of the Atlantic Ocean in wooden boats powered only by sails.
"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go."

Parked in front of Hotel Nacional you will always find a pick of the crop vintage cars. This one was older than most, I think from the 30's, but could have been from the roaring 1920's. It was driven by a young woman (in my eyes anyway), who was blond. She was chatting with all the male drivers across the street, as it was drizzling and business was slow. She told me the year, but that was many moons ago and I do not remember yesterday.

Estacionado frente al Hotel Nacional, siempre encontrará una selección de autos antiguos cosechados.
Este era más antiguo que la mayoría, creo que de los años 30, pero podría haber sido de los años veinte.
Lo conducía una mujer joven (al menos a mis ojos), que era rubia. Estaba charlando con todos los conductores masculinos al otro lado de la calle, ya que estaba lloviznando y el negocio iba lento. Me dijo el año, pero de eso hace muchas lunas y no recuerdo ayer.
