Soon to be on the trail again!
I arrived in Porto, Portugal, on Tuesday and spent the day gathering supplies and exploring the city. I have been here several times over the years, but the amount of growth stunned me.
In the background is the “city hall."
Such pretty buildings.
I loved these blue-china-looking churches. Delft?
The altars were much plainer than the
A different church.
There were three times as many of these bins with tummy things to eat, already prepared.
For lunch, I had Bao de queijo, which are tiny rolls, and bacalhau (dried, salted cod), which was mixed with bread and fried. The cost was than three dollars, counting my diet Pepsi. Quite tasty for the price.
One of my favorite guilty pleasures for the trail. I always look for them, but they are only available in a limited area. Filipinos look like little white donuts, but inside is a crunchy chocolate cookie. YUM!
Tomorrow I hit the trails for slightly less than 3 weeks. As usual, I am excited, nervous, apprehensive, and raring to go.
