Oh man, I love me some tchotchke!

I don’t know if it was because it was the first night of the World Cup or if because it was the feast day of St. Anthony (the patron saint of Lisbon, who is known as a matchmaker and wooer of fish), but Lisbon’s streets were alive with sardines, street parties, and plenty of tchotch!! Honestly, it was probably because they knew WE were coming into town!

Here is a smattering of Lisbon’s mishegas…just because it’s fun!

This street was actually in Porto, where they were getting ready to celebrate St. John!

Lisbon had some great graffiti lining the streets as well.

Dear Lisboa, thanks for the street-tchotch!
