I have found a new love. The city of Lisbon (Lisboa for everyone else who is not American). It is a beautifully quaint city that reminds me of San Francisco, or maybe now San Francisco will remind me of Lisbon. There are many hills (seven to be exact), old fashion wooden trams that zip through the city, and even a bridge that looks like the twin sister of the Golden Gate. But added to that are beautiful tiled buildings, worn cobble stone streets, roosters abounding, and enough cool art and graphic design centers to satisfy any modern aesthetic seeking peoples. And then there is the food. Lisbon is a coastal city so the fish and all other seafood taste like it was grabbed from the water the moment you ordered it and quickly grilled and handed over to you. And then there is the sangria and port that can be found at any restaurant, not to mention the sweet bread and custard at every cafe. I know I am gushing right now and sound like a travel brochure, but if you ever do get the chance to go to Europe, please please please stop in Lisbon. It's well worth your time.
yum.
the wiring at top is for the tram system.
There are more pictures to come. If it wasn't apparent already, I really liked this city.
