Sophie, as I know well how much you like travelling, I think you will be pleased with my little token of appreciation: a vintage piece of luggage...

Note: 'Fado da Madragoa' is the name of a fado song, the lyrics of which are roughly translated into English, as you can read below:

Madragoa, an old, popular, gloomy district in Lisbon is like a monument paying tribute to all those who long for the sea. History tells us that on a Christmas night, the first sailor hero was born in this neighbourhood.
Ah, old Madragoa, you have nothing else but hope. There are many good things in other districts, your rivals. You have not a mural, an arch or a coat of arms.
Ah, Madragoa, you have nothing but lips dropping sweetness as a honeycomb and heart pulsing in your breast.
As the night falls, moonlight paints Madragoa in the colour of opal, and twinkling stars seem to fall from the sky and kiss you. While you’re sleeping soundly, Madragoa, you’re rewarded with beautiful dreams of love.

NEXT ROUND: Monday, September 9, 2013

~~Thanks all who took part in this week's FUN ~~
