Between the tiled sidewalks, Bordalo 2, and the other street artists, Lisbon seems to have a strong street art scene. I'm definitely taking some kind of street art tour next time we go there.
The most famous place for the most famous pastry from Lisbon. Well deserved, in my experience.
This is a picture of Plaza Mayor in Madrid. This is a closeup of the statue of Phillip III that is in Plaza Mayor. Madrid street view. This is a strange looking bird we saw in the botanical gardens in Madrid. I don't know what kind of bird it is. If anyone does, please post it in the comments. Another Madrid street view.
Recently I was interviewed for The Amateur Traveler podcast , and the interview went up today. If you are interested, you can download the episode here . If you are not familiar with The Amateur Traveler , it is a very popular podcast , and I highly recommend it. Again, the podcast can be found at: http://amateurtraveler.com/2008/03/15/episode-129-thailand/ Enjoy, Eric
This is the column of Marcus Aurelius. On Thursday we did a tour called Rome Underground. We went to three different underground areas. The picture below is of a fresco wall from a Republican era Roman house. It was under a church. Here's a nice picture of the Parthenon, one of the coolest attractions in Rome. I would post more pictures, but the internet connection at the hotel is painfully slow. I'll post a bunch when I get back home.
