Heading to Porto

It’s beautiful and green as we make our way west to Porto.

They grow grains for livestock.

We stop at Mateus Palace.

The reflecting pool.

Beautiful manicured gardens



We arrive in to Porto.  Unfortunately the weather is cool with periods of rain.  

We are taking a cruise on the Duomo River.

Cruising down the Duomo is colourful.  They are adding more color to the buildings to brighten up the city as the use of stone can make it appear very dark especially in winter.



Another boat with tourists.  Years ago these boats were used to transport kegs of port.

The use of tile is common.  Due to high humidity some surfaces are easily damaged.  The tile is a good option.

Hospital

Church of the Clerics
