Portugal today is celebrating the anniversary Carnation Revolution. Being in Lisbon down town it was fun and take part in the celebrations.
Morning I waked up from loud music from Restauradores square where my hotel is situated. Restauradores was the ending point of the Marathon or running race. After a quick break fast we joined the road to see the marathon. There were lot of ladies selling Red Carnation flowers and some one is selling stickers too. One old lady put stickers in our dress and we had shell out 2 Euros for the same.
We were roaming round the city till evening and evening when we reached Rossio square by 6 pm there was huge procession of PCP ( Portugal Communist Party). There were lots of people with bands, music, dancing, shouting slogans, posters, fancy dress ... It was a festive time (or protest time?). Me and my wife wait in the mid of the road and watching it.
We too got Carnation flower and was so tired when we reached the hotel where I am writing this now.
