After a nice, lazy morning, we walked across the square to Casa Guedes and had a Sandes de Pernil com queijo - a sandwich made with slow-roasted pork, with cheese - mmmm mmm!
Then off for some cash! It took some doing! The ATM turned out to be very close, but at a very confusing cluster of intersections :-\ What I learned:
(1) the Portuguese are extremely helpful
(2) If you want to really hold up the check-out line, ask the cashier for directions
(3) Don't pull out a map - that only takes more of their time
(4) After waiting all that time, the lady in line still looked for me after she came out of the store - to help even more!
Following the advice of our hostess, we took a taxi to the tram, and rode this traveling museum to the mouth of the Douro river and back.
Across the river (aka, not Porto)
This bridge - we went under it...
The parks along the river, and at the end of the line
The gate to the Atlantic!
A church at the beginning of the line
Interesting buildings on the way home
