Out and about in Lisbon...
 |
| Santa Rita's day celebration |
 |
Keeping a watchful eye over the Santa Rita celebrants...but,
hey, no sirens, no blue lights? |
 |
| Very intriguing author I had not heard of, must look into |
 |
| Plant-loving hotel in north Lisbon |
 |
The dictator Salazar apparently encouraged
Art Deco, and parts of Lisbon contain some
interesting examples |
 |
| We spent an afternoon hunting some of them down |
 |
| Deco Echo church Vicki wanted to see |
 |
| Mostly for its glass |
 |
| An interesting exercise in religious symbolism, updated |
 |
Instead of the Pantokrator, we have this...woman...OK, we get it, it's a Fatima
church... |
 |
| More Deco Echo |
 |
| Beautiful tree-lined streets |
 |
| More fanciful buildings |
 |
| A small museum |
 |
| Needs developer... |
 |
| Another beauty, now a consulate |
 |
And, the piece de resistance that day...Paris's gift to Lisbon,
an authentic 1900 Hector Grimard Metropolitain station... |
 |
| Really... |
 |
| Really... |
 |
| Tied things together |

How did we miss the Paris metro sign?
