lisbon stories :: chiado & bairro alto

January 13, 2011 filed under: hello twiggs personal, lisbon stories, photography

hello friends, hello! how are you doing? i hope you are all feeling good! i am feeling that this week has been really tough, i am feeling so tired lately, that i cannot wait to get to the weekend! i will be away for the weekend, and i will get the chance to be with this “little” guy here…

and i believe that this will allow for some rest, away from the laptop… and with mr twiggs, family & my two friends {canon} & {holga}! last weekend i had the chance to relax a little bit too, but then the week started with not much hours of sleep… and kept this way until today. and today i would love to share some things about the weekend, as i had the chance to do one of my favourite things in the whole world, which is wander around lisbon, relaxing, walking a lot, and taking pictures… in a very peaceful way. and because one of the goals of this blog is also to share with you some corners from sunny {lisbon}, because i am becoming deeply in love with film, asides from {lomography}… aaaand because i felt so inspired by {this}, i share this with you.

from top to bottom…

1. the lovely new store in chiado {voa}… oh i was delighted. i was too shy though to ask to take more pictures inside. but i will get on that again, be stronger, breathe and ask “can i take pictures, please? i have a blog, and would like to share this store with everyone!”

2. oh flowers in chiado. i tell you ladies, spring is almost there, and i cannot wait for it!

3. {hotel bairro alto} in chiado. may i advise you to stay here if you come to lisbon? you will not regret it! if not, at least go up there to have a brunch! the view, my friends… the view!

4. a very usual tradition around here, putting our laundry to dry outside. we are indeed a country with sunny days. even so… it has been raining for so long, that this “outside” thing, is not actually working! a view from {bairro alto}.

5. through my walks in {bairro alto}, i found out that doors and window’s shutters with heart shapes are pretty common. a lovely capture for valentine’s day.

    I am really loving the buildings. Lisbon is a great city and I have been there a few times now and what always amazed me is the great architecture I witnessed there. For anyone with some historic sense I can really recommend it!
