Adventure to “the Greatest City in the World”

Our home town is Newnan, Georgia. We are known as “ the City of Homes!” Porto, Portugal’s marketing slogan is “ Porto, the Greatest City in the World!” We might agree!
We flew to Porto early morning. Ditched our packs at the hotel and ventured out in this lovely metropolis. Porto is a vast city but presents itself as a quaint town filled with delightful and enticing shops and alfresco dining extraordinaire.
The train station was close and we secured our train tickets to the next train station at 5:55. A. M. At the next train station we will board a train to Valenca at 6:30 A.M. Remember that we lost an hour due to time zones coming here and you get a sense of the earliness of these excursions. (Looks like every thing is early this trip )
We then walked to Le Cathedral to purchase our pilgrim credentials. ( Photo posted). We met four Canadian perigrinos; exchanged names; routes to be taken; wished each other well and parted. Such is the life of the Camino. The weather was so pleasant and we walked the cobblestone streets; listened to the perpetual musicians entertaining;( Why doesn’t this happen in USA more); had a leisurely meal. Napped
We met a man from Kashmir selling delicate scarves. He offered to take us on a Jeep safari in May. AND he is serious. We loved talking to him and took his business card but they don’t like female,blonde, blue eyed Christians in Kashmir. We would love to see it but we like freedom and life more.
There is always something new to tackle on Camino every day. You are constantly solving unknowns You realize that being calm,watchful, kind and listening affords many opportunities.
The photos are just some brief glimpses of beauty.
Buen Camino
