Bonjour Lisbon !
It might have new shops, new museums, its pulse remains the same.
And even in the fierce heat of summer,
it's such a pleasure to wander through its streets
to go up and down in the yellow streetcars
to dip one's feet in the water near the Belem tower
and watch the occasional fisherman
and watch the occasional fisherman
and of course, our first gourmand meeting was the famous Confeitaria de Belem
for their delicious pasteis which they've been making since 1837.....
the most heavenly custard tart ever !

as usual there's a long line of people waiting to buy
these little round cakes which just melt in your mouth
they're so yummy !

I love the buttery yellow buildings and streetcars against the blue sea and sky. Then there's the decorative blue and yellow in your other photos - the ceramic tray on the wall, the cafe, the boxes.
Is this a frequent color pairing throughout Lisbon and Portugal? I wonder why, if so...they're not the flag colors, and a quick Googling of "Portugal blue yellow" doesn't help me!
