Portugal: Rooftops of Old Lisbon

Prior to our trip we had, of course, read many tour guides about Portugal, and Lisbon in particular. Included in the must-see attractions were the yellow trams. On this morning, our first full day in Lisbon, we boarded the #12 tram, nice and early, for a short tour of neighbourhoods frequented by it. We were not disappointed. And, most certainly, our knees which had been acting up since our departure from home, thanked us. Lisbon is, to put it mildly, a city of hills. Oh, and did I mention; hills!

In this postcard view, overlooking the rooftops, we have the San Vincente de Fora church in the distance.
