Bryan and I snuck away to Porto, Portugal. Such an amazing city!! It still has that "undiscovered" feel, yet all of the amenities, restaurants, music etc. of a full on tourist city. We have been to a lot of places and this one sits right up there amongst our very favorite. I always think that the key to a fun travel experience is to see where the locals go to eat, shop, and be entertained (not where the travel books recommend). Anyway, we did just that and had an amazing time. We already can't wait to go back one day!

| We stumbled across a little fundraising dinner by locals. They had a little alley with music and tables and amazing food and cake. The "chefs" were so happy and wanted us to join in on the fun!! Sardines and a type of barbeque were the delicacy and did not disappoint!! |
 |
| The streets were so adorable! |
 |
| Beautiful sunsets from the bridge! |
 |
| Capaccino and "Nada's" |
 |
| I'm not sure if it was the weather or the location of both, but Porto was magical! |
 |
| Say Cheese!! |
 |
| Porto sits on the side of a river, but just a short way down that river is the Atlantic Ocean. The waves were amazing!! |
 |
| All of the Port wine businesses sat near the river... |
