Tour de Luxembourg 2008 Part IV

This Portuguese store is located just 70 meters from the Start. It was
June 8th Sunday. The day before that day (Saturday), the Portuguese national
team won a match against Turkey in European Championship (succor or football).
This store owner was happy, I guess. I saw Portuguese flags flying at several
places in Luxembourg. I had not known that there were Portuguese communities
in Luxembourg before that day.


They had flags and other items delicately displayed.

Well, back to the race.
