Cards from Lisbon

As I told in the last post, last weekend I attended the Postcrossing International Meeting in Lisbon. Actually, I don't have many cards from Lisbon, since I only buy them to send to other people. This time, I decided to buy some for my own collection and even found some cards that I had never seen before. Here are some of them:

Lisbon's harbor and the Monument to the Discoveries in the background.

D. Pedro IV Square (or Rossio, one of the most famous squares in Lisbon) and D. Maria Theatre.

My favourite belvedere in Lisbon, Miradouro de S. Pedro de Alcântara. From this point, you can see all Lisbon's downtown down to the river and the Castle of S. Jorge.

One of the main squares in Lisbon's downtown, Praça da Figueira (the first card I see from it).

Downtown and 25th April Bridge in the background.

Another view of the bridge and our "copy" of Cristo Redentor (called Cristo Rei).

Old street in Lisbon, as seen from the front window of one of the typical trams.

I love Lisbon's old buildings!

It wouldn't be Lisbon without the yellow trams :-)

Special official card

Last weekend (9th-10th June) there was an International Postcrossing Meeting in Lisbon. I already knew some of the postcrossers who attended and it is always fun to meet them again, and I met some others who I knew only from the forum.
In between all the sightseeing, eating and postcard shopping, there was a surprise: Astrid1978 hand-delivered me an official card, NL-1114821!

It was already expired since she had sent me a previous one that I never received :-( But it was a really funny moment when she gave me this second card and it will have a special place in my collection! Thanks Astrid! :-)
