Andrea & bandeira portuguesa :)

What other city
Raised above the sea
by a river
has finally elevated
Amidst two arms of water
One of salt, the other of nothing
Sweet water, salty water
Waters that embrace Lisbon


It's in Lisbon
That the blue sea receives the river
And that breeze that makes us
Travelling promises
The cool breeze that claims
Our absent souls
Soft
city
of the salt
of the sea

I live in Lisbon
And the afternoon falls...


"Moro em Lisboa" lyrics by Pedro Ayres Magalhaes

    We are equal in our great and undying admiration for Lisboa. What is it about this melancholy city that makes one endear to her? Hope you'll discover something new and lasting when you next visit her.

    Great page, Andrea! The pics of you with the Portuguese flag and in the metro station are very beautiful. You could apply for Miss VT Europe (see my album)!
