Our Campanions Have Arrived

Today I woke up in the hostel just across the river from where we are meeting Richard, Noelle and Deb. It was only about a mile and a half from them, but we just didn't have the energy to get there. So we took a car and met them at the rental office where we left backpacks and poles while we waited for our unit to be readied. We went to lunch at Time Out Market. It was great as we could all go to a different vendor and get just what we wanted. Afterward, we went to the Cathedral. The newbies got their first stamp while Jayme and I got another stamp and another credential. The ones we have are already nearly full. Next we went to Sport Zone and got hiking poles for Deb and Noelle. By then our rental was ready. It is very cute, 3 beds 2 baths in the middle of old town with a washer and outdoor space. And the weather has completely changed so we can enjoy. Everyone napped and we're still too tired to go out for dinner, so we ate pizza and salad. Now I am in bed again and exhausted. Hopefully, we will be able to explore Porto a bit tomorrow before we move on.Read more
