Em Porto, Portugal

Today...

?

Nothing I'm likely to share. I did visit the train station, São Bento. Marvellous azulejos (tiles). Also went to the Bolhão market, but the day was wasted mostly as I had no energy.

Breakfast was better at hostels in Lisboa and Coimbra but enough. I have no appetite. Ate a panado de peru (whatever that is) and goat cheese for supper. At least Pingo Doce has cheap food and it's around the corner.

Almost 10 pm and place feels ghostly. Nice chat with young French women last night... but no one here in common room at moment. I can only hope folks aren't loud when they reappear. Groups of travelers can be very disrespectful of others. It's as if no one exists outside their circle.

I did better with Portuguese today. If I were here a month, especially if I were studying, I'd do okay.

People in Porto seem nice.
