  3. A lift? I’m not sure I understand? A lift in England is an elevator here in the U.S. That seemed like it was a tram that was on the ground going up a hill?

  4. Hi David,
    it is almost like a tram, but it climbs very much and they’re always two together and they are connected by a strong wire underground, so that’s why they seem like a tram but in truth they are a lift. 😉

  5. Well I’ll be damned. They have those things, in all places, in Dubuque Iowa. The ones you have look a little more perilous to ride though!

    By the way, I have to tell you that I just LOVE the name of your site! Les Uns et les Autres is one of my favorite movies.

  6. Fantastic moment…and beautifully quiet. Yes, I was thinking it was a tram at first. But now I see. I must get to Lisbon and take a ride.

  7. Hi again! thanks for you great comments. They motivate me a lot.

    I saw that movie years ago and I got it on DVD like last year and I really have to see it again, it’s so crazy and full of life, at list as I remember it.

    this month i will also be looking for stuff that I have in archived tapes and will try to make some small stories with it.

    I see this month is going to be very very fun for all. 🙂

    now I have some vlogs to catchup and start thinking of today movie.
    😉
