Day 1 - Matosinhos

The moment we stepped out of the hostel with our brand new Camino shells attached to our packs, we heard our very first "Bom Camino". Love this tradition! Absolutely beautiful refreshing walk along the water, in perfect weather. So many colors... flowers,trees, flowering trees....dark green birds and a mint green Fiat 500. We saw an adorable preschool group with their minders trying to herd them into place for a group photo, with limited success. Obviously I have to check out local grocery stores, and Brad found a parrot that said ,,"Hola". The street near our hotel was full of charcoal braziers roasting fish when we arrived. Nowhere to be seen at our dinnertime. Walkers eat way earlier than the locals! We looked in the Se Cathedral, but were too anxious to hit the road! More of Porto to be seen when we return. For now, an early night and back along the water starting early tomorrow.もっと詳しく
