Experiencing Portugal....Live

Itinerary: Porto (24 Oct)











On the river above you can see boats that carry barrels of wine up and down the river. And near the river there is a furnicular that will take you up-up to breathtaking views.

Today I had the chance to taste the first traditional Portugese dishes: sardines and codfish and to try Porto wine. Also today I fell in love hopelessly with Portugese pastry, especially PastelNata...:P

Things that hit me today: the palmtrees, the hills you can find in most of Portugese cities I've seen and that make them more special, the sea air, the old preserved buildings, the atmosphere, Portugese flags on many windows, blue tiles in many monuments and the fact that Portugese people kiss when meeting a person for the first time, instead of shaking hands.

The day ended with the first Antonio cooking experience. Which was surprisingly mmmm...mmm.
