Groping the King of the Sea
Never having been to Portugal, I did what I often do in new places. I took the double-decker bus tour. Unfortunately, I ended up buying the one that took me around the coast of the river, the area I had pretty much already seen walking around. So, I snagged the historic tour at one of the stops and went around.
Neptune here was supporting a large statue of someone locally famous, but it was tall and I didn´t manage to get the name like I normally do. I was amazed by the level of work this sculpting took, the musculature is perfect. Of course, when no one was looking I had to ham it up a bit. He said he´d call me, but you know how those god-types are.
I found a portable removeable drive in my backpack, but it only holds 120 MB, so there will be no mass gallery of photos until I get home. A photo here and there never hurts though. And, of course, there is a cleaner version of the photo above that I can show my mom.
