COBRAS ON TOUR

Our #CobraQuiz mascots, Al T. Cobra and Second-Cousin Cuthbert, took a trip to Lisbon, Portugal this week on the hunt for more questions - they even tried to get some ideas from Portugal's beloved poet, Fernando Pessoa.

#CobrasOnTour #Lisbon #Portugal #Cobra
The statue of Fernando Pessoa in Chiado, Lisbon, Portugal. On the shoulders of the legendary Portuguese poet are the two Cobra Meeting mascots, Al T. Cobra and Second-Cousin Cuthbert, both seemingly enthused by the literary giant they have encountered. A man walks behind the statue with a smartphone attached to headphones. He appears unfazed by the affair.
