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
TravelerThis guy got exiled for 10 years when Salazar was dictator, then released. Always used to play with the kids in the park and wouldn't live in the bishop's house, but instead in a humble apartment. Very like Pope Francis.
