When I left "Mesa do Barrio" with my friends, the sun was just about to begin setting. We walked through the area surrounding the restaurant, and I was amazed at the houses in that area. I didn't have my iPad with me to take pictures, so I went back the next day, during the afternoon.
In any case, I have never seen such houses in my life, but I really enjoyed taking a good look at these! I wonder what they look like inside....
One thing I especially noticed was the different colors of the homes. Such hues as strawberry pink, peppermint blue, and cafe latte beige were some of them.
very different architecture but colors remind me of san francisco
ReplyDeleteSo true!
DeleteWhat you have seen are the houses of the old Lisbon, (the walls are made of the rock inside, that's why they still hold so much so many years later and of course we have to maintain also to keep it clean)

Wow--I didn't know about the rock foundation.
DeleteI remember seeing a TV program about Portuguese people who live on hillsides in the country, with the houses built right into huge boulders!
I can tell you, and then it's my grandmother's neighborhood. LOL

If this is where your grandmother lives, then she's very lucky indeed!
DeleteMan, YOU are in Portugal? How do I get to know you? XD
ReplyDeleteOlá, Marco! No, I went to Portugal for a 10-day trip--I just got home 9 days ago. Too bad I couldn't meet you while I was there :(
DeleteHey Marco--my last 2 e-mails to you have bounced back. I think you need to make some more space in your e-mail box by throwing some stuff out. I also tried sending an e-mail to your hotmail address.
DeleteMaybe next time then! I´ll be looking forward for more of your fantastic work!
ReplyDeleteYeah--I was hoping that some fans might see my blog and contact me while I was in Portugal. But no problem--because I definitely AM going back to visit Portgual again. I just barely scratched the surface! Viva!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Do come back some time! https://www.facebook.com/marco.jacinto.33 in case you want to say hi
DeleteI don't use Facebook or Twitter--sorry. (I don't even have a telemovel!) If you have an email address, please send it to me here--I won't publish it, so don't worry. Email works best for me.
DeleteHey! I have two email addresses, you can write to. They are sakurashounen@hotmail.com and sakurashounen@clix.pt . I´ll look forward to it!
DeleteThese houses look like the tastiest of ice creams!! Hey, Animan, what if you featured such a neighborhood in a movie? Your camera shot could start the scene high above the street block and sweepingly pan down to the facades of the townhouses. The camera then "pierces" through the front door, sweeps upstairs to that cute balcony where a middle-aged, sexy Portuguese
ReplyDeletehubby is laying out suntanning his oily beefy muscles on a chaise lounger, wearing a canary yellow speedo. Suddenly, he hears the door bell ring. He ignores it, but then he remembers the Misses is out at the market this afternoon. He puts on a plush, short terry cloth bath robe and heads to the front door. Oh my god, Animan!! What happens next? LOL!
I read you loud and clear!
