A Photo Blog of Porto
There are many, many stories about our time in Porto that simply didn't make the cut - not because the experiences were unworthy: quite the opposite. Sometimes it's difficult to capture the words to describe a place, a feeling. And so, I give way to the old adage: a picture is worth a thousand words. Here are a million words in one post. Enjoy!
