belém is one of lisbon’s historic neighborhoods. this is where many of the portuguese explorers set sail on their voyages. it’s touristy but worth a visit. (it’s so nice, i went there twice.) the air is cleaner and the area seems to embody the grandeur of their magnificent past.
this is also the neighborhood where i stopped into a nearby photo shop as i was waiting for the tram to take me back to my apartment. an old portuguese lady from the tram stop came searching for me in the shop. she was telling me something in portuguese. she was telling me that the tram was coming. this was one of many instances where i saw the kindness of the portuguese. imagine a total stranger going out of her way to help you. gotta love it.
i’m finally back on a high-speed internet connection and was able to upload photos. check ‘em out here.
