Lisbon

Two in the Alfama, trying to blend in

My favorite part of Lisbon is the Alfama. I love getting lost in the alleyways, ducking into the shadows to escape the sun, the sound and smells of the lively neighborhood as dinner is prepared and the kids play along in the narrow streets. Plus I'm sure the steep hills did my heart some good. I've never really been a big city person. But Lisbon despite its status as capital city has somehow managed to retain its small town vibe. Oh yes and the Fado. How can one forget such melancholy. More photos here
