1st Day in Porto

Took a walking tour of the city today. The funny looking trees in the park have a story of why they look that way. 1) The park was built near a hospital and the trees sucked up all the illnesses from the sick people 2) They got a virus 3) students collect at the park and drink and the trees absorbed all the alcohol. In that same park are these statues of men laughing - The Thirteen Laughing Men. Then we went to many different churches. There are many in Porto. There’s a lot of gold leaf in these places. Finally we took a river cruise. It was a great day.Read more
