My Apartment

Oi ! (means "hi" in Portuguese)

I arrived in Lisbon...or, in Portuguese, Lisboa, July 13th but...then I went on vacation and left to travel with a friend and see different parts of the country. Now I am back so it's time to start sharing my experiences here in Portugal. Let's start with my apartment and my neighborhood because it's really cool ! I live in an area called Santa Catarina. It's between two other neighborhoods here - Barrio Alto and Chiado. I am very very lucky because I found the most beautiful apartment to rent. It has a view of the river Tagus (Tejo) in the front and a little terrace with another nice view in the back.

Here are some photos:

This is the view from my front window ! You can usually see sailboats and ferries going back and forth. It's so entertaining to watch - better than TV.

And, here is the view from the back terrace:

Here is my living room:

Here is my dining room:

Sometimes it is really hard to leave my apartment and go out into the world...but I force myself...and when I come back, it is always so nice to see it again.
