It's the first Olympic Games that I cannot watch. Just can't. It just doesn't seem right. I guess you know why.

I have pictures from Queluz Palace near Lisbon. Pretty, but desolated. At least, I saw it so.





Just 20 minutes by train from Rossio in Lisbon and you are in Queluz-Belas. Follow the guide signs to the Palace.



It was cloudy again.



The palace.



I had a strong feeling that people had left this place many years ago...



I didn't take pictures inside, so we have only the garden)))



I definitely like to watch these pictures along with soundtrack of 28 Days Later. Creepy)))



Spot me here!



You're right. Here I am)))



My flower!kink.



And the garden was under reconstruction. The most part was closed for visitors((( But ticket price included the visit to the garden anyway!



My sister is not amused!



A lion-woman!



A creepy fish-child. *shivers*



Monster! *hides*



Water-lilies in the fountain.



Don't blink! *giggles*



Portuguese pupils were on excursion.





I'm sure there was time when it was very beautiful there...





More creepy statues.



On the way back to the station we saw this flag. The feeling of devastation grew stronger.



And the happy moment! The Portugal national squad!))) Yep, I'm mocking. Everywhere - in the streets, underground and at railway stations - you could see this ad. Ronaldo's staying! Hooray? No? Okay. Yesterday Moscow Reds sang anti-Ronaldo chants during the game. But why do I think that a couple of goals by him and they would be in love with him again?

Oops! The pics are over. I hope you liked them.
