Porto Days 3-6

I've been wandering around Porto, taking in the sights, enjoying taking it easy. I can't understand a word of spoken Portuguese which feels somewhat disorienting. But most people here seem to speak some English, unlike Spain. It has been in the 60s, windy and rainy, with sun breaks and a couple mostly sunny afternoons.
Today I'm going to take the metro out to the airport to pickup the rental car. I'm slightly terrified at the prospect of driving it back into the city and finding a place to park it. Tomorrow morning I want to leave at 7:00 am to drive 3 hours to Lisbon airport to pick up my friend Nina who is joining me for the last week of this grand adventure, in Cascais. Then we fly back to Seattle November 5. And I rejoin the rest of my life already in progress.
PS rental car retrieval successful! Even got a place to park near the apartment. Tomorrow to LisbonRead more
