Lisbon
Repairing Tile Streets

Some of the streets and sidewalks of the new part of Lisbon are made of small pieces of stone (about 1 inch by 1 inch), carefully laid into beautiful patterns. People carefully put any piece that has come out on the side of the sidewalk in anticipation of someone like this fellow. Quite a job when you consider that the street he is working on is over a mile long.
