    Wonderful day to walk into Porto. Aimee and I walked almost to the Porto bridge together. I took a detour to see Half Rabbit recycling sculpture.

    Almost all road pavement/cobblestone with a little Roman road thrown in.

    Porto is a beautiful city. A lot of Americans are here. My studio overlooks the river, which you will see from the photos.

    I played tourist til early evening. So many wonderful things to see. A highlight was going to the famous Livaria Lello (bookstore), so cool. Bought a couple books. See photo!

    I will post other things I saw in an upcoming post.

    All in all a wonderful day to be in Porto!

    Enjoy the journey. Photos have captions. Bom Caminho.

  • Day N/A

    September 29, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 66 °F

    Day N/A

    I’m sitting in the Barcelona airport waiting for my flight to Athens.

    My Camino Portuguese for now is done.

    I am fine and so wish I was waking up in Porto and continuing my walk northward to Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

    I am needed back in Crete, so that is where I shall go.

    At some future point, I will return to Porto with my pilgrim passport and continue on the journey.

    Bom Caminho/Buen Camino
