More Street Performers in Lisbon

I like photographing street performers because firstly they don't mind being photographed - in fact they like it - and secondly they don't get to look at the photograph later and I don't get feedback that it isn't flattering.

Palacio National da Pena in Sintra

It is a long walk to the top of the mountain from town.... much easier to take the bus.

Views of Lisbon

My first impressions of Lisbon weren't that good but it has grown on me.  So far I wouldn't say the food has grabbed me yet though.

Lisbon Street Performer

We saw this guy "floating in air" who was pretty good and a fool blowing bubbles who was trying to take from the tourists.  How does he float in air?  My guess is that some sort of suspension apparatus extends from the cane through his coat sleeve and down his pants somehow.  Pretty good though as he seemed to have most people amazed.  He allowed people to wave their arms under his feet to show there was nothing down there.
