Sunday afternoon pig roast on a street climbing up from the river. This was the cafe where we had to prop up one side of the table to keep our teapot and teacups from sliding downhill and off the table.
From the river, everything is UP in Porto!
Interesting building in Porto
Spectacular tiled walls in the waiting room of Porto's Sao Bento train station
Installing solar panels on a Porto roof. We are looking down from the plaza in front of the Cathedral
Street in Porto - no cars on this one
Sunday bird market near our apartment in Porto. There were all kinds of (live) parakeets, finches, doves, and other caged birds, as well as pheasants, ducks, geese, turtles, and lizards - plus supplies for all of the above.
View of Porto from the plaza near the Cathedral. Our apartment was just below the large tower (Torre dos Clerigos) at the crest of the next hill
Cobblestones are not just something from the past! Re-paving a Porto street
