Yes, We Live in a Pink Apartment Building

We live in a nice area of Lisbon called Telheiras. It is what our language teacher called a middle class, but very nice, neighborhood. A

good place to live.

There are other colored buildings besides pink, but there is a lot of pink. We were told that pink was the color of royalty.

The blacktop area goes down to the underground garage.

Our windows and balcony (in the last picture) look out on a nice green area and across the way to other pink (and yellow) buildings.

This view is very different from the backyard view we used to have but I am very thankful that we do have some trees and grass to rest our eyes on.

If we walk down the sidewalk (in the view off the balcony) we come to a nice area between buildings with benches and wide sidewalks, little shops, cafes, and restaurants. There is a small mercado (market) that sells breads, fruits, milk, juice, and other small items. We bought some peaches, lemons, limes, and bread rolls there the other day when we were walking back from the Metro. I'll take some pictures of that area another day.
