San Francisco...or Lisbon?

The GoldenGate bridge? SF cable car?
No, It's the April 25 bridge in Lisbon crossing the Tejo, and a #28 Lisbon trolley. Lisbon is full of surprises like this tile artwork in the Olivais metro station...

What isn't a surprise is the great seafood available in Lisbon. We suggest, in case you're at loose ends here in Lisbon, that you head over to the Mercado da Ribiera
And have a gripping octopus lunch!
