Porto, Portugal

Ola from Porto in northern Portugal.  I took the train from Lisbon - very easy to figure out and relatively inexpensive - luckily I 'talked' with a lady at the station who told me how to read the ticket.  I say 'talked' as she only spoke portugese and I only spoke english so it was an interesting conversation with lots of acting out and pointing. 

Porto is quite beautiful and all on a hill too -  I really must look at topography in city seletion - lots of up and down for me - ;)  I don't have wifi so am at an internet cafe and did not bring the usb key for photos - so will upload some later.  I spent yesterday wandering the city and took in the Serrvaes comtemporary art museum and gardens -  I have to admit I did not understand most of the exhibits but it was interesting and the gardens were lovely.  I then made my way down to the watefront and did a bit of people watching - fascinating.  I am now off for another wander and a tour on the River Douro.
