Hello Everyone
On Tuesday 10th March, Lyn and I went to Porto for 5 days. The weather was really good and we had sunshine every day with temperatures over 20c. We met a teacher Luis who I met at a Comenius seminar in 2007 and we looked around his school called Cercigaia. We went to many places during our stay and Porto is a very beautiful city. The photograph is of me and Lyn with Porto in the background and then a photograph without us spoiling the view. I am sitting by the river in Aveiro, they say it is like Venice and they have the gondolas to take you around the city but we did not bother with the trip. Then there are two photographs of the monastery in Porto, one during the day and another at night. The photograph of the port cellars was taken at night, Porto is famous for its many different Port wines.
It was a great trip and on the last day Luis took us up into the mountains along the River Douro to a watermill (Molin) he owns. It is a fabulous place to stay, with only the noise of the river and the birds singing to break the silence

Once I tested very good vine of Portugal - red vine PORTO. 2005 I was in Comenius course in Sweeden and there I meet 2 techers from Portugal. They brought with them some Portugal vine and they said that PORTO is one of the best. It was very good. You were lucky with the weather - it is great to here you spent nice dys there.
