photos of portugal

look at this beautiful blue tile on this wonderful little chapel in Aveiro, Portugal. This is about 15 minutes from where Frenchy grew up. The blue tile art is called azulejos......truly amazing artistry.

small house in the canal district of Aveiro.....

the cutest beach town called Costa Nova is right outside Aveiro....most of the little cabins are painted in broad stripes. For some reason my other pictures did not turn out at all, so this is the best I have got. Google it...I am sure there are more.... we had lunch in this cute little area the day before we left for Spain. Great seafood.......the grilled Atlantic salmon was divine...

here are the gondolas on the canals in Aveiro...kind of like the ones in Venice. Kind of. So charming though. This area comes right up to the center o the downtown area and the gondolas are available for tours.....lovely!

Last one of this batch....this was an abandoned little place right around the corner from the cute little tile chapel. I would love to buy it and fix it up. hmmmm......
