Baggage -- the good kind

I'm leaving Lisbon right now and have packed the three items above that were given to me as gifts. I try not to shop when I am traveling but am moved by the kind gestures of those who gave me these gifts. The Bordeaux book from the 1855 Conseil, Arzak cookbook from the Elena, the chef, and the 2005 Niepoort Vintage Port, from Luis, the winemaker and Dirk, the owner. Argh, the books and wine are very heavy though!
