One world
 |
| Aveiro (Centro Region), Portugal |
So many gods, so many creeds,
so many paths that just wind and wind
while just the art of being kind is all the sad world needs.

Cais dos Botirões
 |
| Aveiro (Centro Region), Portugal |
This small canal had me mesmerized the whole trip! No matter if the sun was shining or if it was about to rain, my feet kept bringing me back here. Aveiro is known as the "Venice" of Portugal.

Success
 |
| Aveiro (Centro Region), Portugal |
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Art Nouveau
 |
| Aveiro (Centro Region), Portugal |
Aveiro was a surprise for me architecturally speaking. Several of the buildings in the city center feature the Art Nouveau style. This particular building was converted into the Museum of Art Nouveau which includes an on-site tearoom.

Rua dos Mercadores

| Aveiro (Centro Region), Portugal |
Getting lost in the streets of Aveiro is a treat, because it seems like each and every façade has a story of its own to tell.

A Parceira do Ramo
 |
| Aveiro (Centro Region), Portugal |
Aveiro and its many bronze statues placed throughout the city... This particular one, a Parceira do Ramo, pays homage to the occupation of women who traditionally sold flowers in the street.

the beauty of tiles
 |
| Aveiro (Centro Region), Portugal |
Right now I don't remember which church these tiles were in, but wherever it was, they filled the entire interior of the church...simply marvellous. Tiles are everywhere in Portugal.
