My Observations
No, not out of my mind, or at a loss for words (who me?) Today is travel day via bus from Porto to Lisbon, with a short stop in Fatima. Time about 4 hours to cover the 200 miles. Once in Lisbon, walk around and get something to eat. This time sangria to drink. What a fun day. Sorta like one of my favorite adventure songs when our son, now age 47, was a kid listening to Sesame Street. I sing a few verses of this every time I start on a journey. This time, hit them all – car, train, boat and airplane included (-:
Going For A Ride Lyrics
Oh I'm going for a ride
Gonna sit behind the wheel
Gonna drive along the road
Oh how happy I will feel
And I'm gonna toot my horn
Gonna travel near and far
I'm going for a ride
Going riding in a car
And a car goes vroom...
And a car goes vroom...
And a car goes vroom...
Gonna travel near and far
Going riding in a car
Oh I'm going for a ride
And I'm never going back
Gonna be an engineer
Gonna speed along the track
And you'll hear my whistle blow
And I'm happy to explain
That I'm going for a ride
Going riding on a train
And a train goes woo...
And a train goes woo...
And a train goes woo...
And I'm happy to explain
I'm going riding in a train
Oh I'm going for a ride
I'm gonna sail the ocean blue
And I'm gonna be a captain
And I'm gonna have a crew
Gonna sail the seven seas
On the water I will float
Cause I'm going for a ride
And I'm riding in a boat
And a boat goes toot...
And a boat goes toot...
And a boat goes toot...
On the water I will float
Going riding in a boat
Yes, I'm going for a ride (vroom)
Yes, I'm going for a ride (woo)
Yes, I'm going for a ride (toot)
Yes, we're going for a ride
