Porto

Today we are in Porto. It is an old city of about 200,000 in population. The Atlantic ocean port used to be on the river in Porto where we are docked, but it is now off the Atlantic outside of the city. Merchants used to pull their boats up to the openings in the granite wall and unload. There was a spot for each type of product. 
Old wall. 
Cathedral
Even their rocks have tiles. (Fake ones)
Train station 
Fancy landmark coffee shop. 
Fancy art nouveau McDonald's. 
Book store that looks like it came from Harry Potter. People line up to go in and they charge 5€ to enter. 
Tower the emergency management system of old. 
Jewish neighborhood, they had to pretend to be Catholic or they were killed or had to leave the country.
