Caption: Lisbon My Photomontage
Caption: This past December I did a solo trip to beautiful Lisbon. I loved every aspect of the city... the people, architecture, mosaics, street art & of course, the irresistible pastries.
Picture
Caption: I did walking tours through Alfama, Mouraria, Baixa, Chiado...practically everywhere. Lisbon is a city where you find yourself gazing a lot...looking down at the ground at the tiled patterns that decorate pavements and squares, & up, at the mosaics & murals that adorn the walls of buildings...

Caption: The street art is beyond. It's thanks to Lisbon that I am now obsessed with it & find myself seeking it out in every city I visit, including my own, Cape Town.
