View of the Church

Taken from the front window of our apartment on a rainy morning. That is a church bell tower that we can almost reach out and touch. And yes, when the bells toll you can feel the vibration in the apartment. Oh, and the name of the church is Igreja Paroquial de São Cristóvão e São Lourenço.

The View Looking West

The view out of our kitchen window on a rainy Sunday morning. Everything here is packed in pretty tightly, with lots of red tiled rooftops.

Looking Down from our Kitchen Window

The view out our kitchen window looking down on a Rainy Sunday Morning. Love it!

The Church at Sunset

Late afternoon sun breaking through the clouds and bathing the church in warm golden light.

View From Our Kitchen

Beautiful early evening view out our kitchen and bedroom window. Just Stunning!

Lisbon Street Art

Two things I love to photograph, stairways and street art. This is on the side of one of the grocery stores we shop at.

At the Top of the Stairs

Looking down from the top of the stairs to where the grocery store is located.

A View to the Sea

At some point we're hoping to be able to walk down to the sea, and hopefully be able to walk back up! We are definitely in a "Hilly" part of Lisbon....

Beautiful Tile Work

Like in Madrid the Tile work here in Lisbon is outstanding and it's everywhere, whole building facades with beautiful Portuguese Tiles...more to come.

Lisbon Street Art

As you can see there are a lot of stairs in our new neighborhood along with a variety of street art depicting Fado singers. This is right outside our apartment.

Club Noir

Another of my favorite things to photograph, old doors.

Old Narrow Street

The street leading back to our apartment. Do you see the church tower?

Sunday Brunch, Portuguese Style

This was our brunch on a rainy Sunday morning - Eggs Benedict with Linguisa, fruit, and Pastel de Nata the traditional Portuguese pastry. The food here has been wonderful, and Judy has done an incredible job of keeping us well fed.

Benches

These are by the entry to the Aqueduct that you will see in other photos.

A Nice Place to Sit

View of the Aqueduct

One of the most amazing structures we've come across in all of our travels is the Aqueduto das Águas Livres in Lisbon, Portugal. The building of the aqueduct system lasted from 1731 to 1799. It's most eye-catching section is this line of arches over the Alcantara Valley. The apartment we stayed in for the month of March was less than a 10-minute walk from here.
