sites in Lisbon


This was taken going up a steep hill in the city.  We were trying to find the castle at the top of the hill.  Unfortunately with all the construction we got there after it was closed.  I thought this picture of the painted apartments was cool.  It is so Portugal, and notice the grated windows.
Along this street is this colorful tiles.  We took this in the car as we were traveling along.   The next two pictures are a continuation of this wall.


The little rolling suitcase the women on the left has is typical for the shoppers.  They use these to grocery shop at the outdoor markets.  These little flower stores are everywhere too.  Notice the sidewalks or the plaza.  Portugal are known for their beautiful designed sidewalks.
