Back to the country

Took yesterday off - no bus - no nothing.  I just had a Phil day.  Wondered about, read, took a nap.  After a fado concert, Peter and I walked along the river and stopped in an Irish pub.  Peter FORCED me to drink beer... all he did was say - "the beer's on me".  Tom and Cheryl joined us, followed by Anet and Karen... soon the six of us were enjoying sunset on the river in Coimbra... away from the touristic old town.  It was a wonderful end of a relaxing day.
Today we head north to the Duoro Valley, which is the main Portugal wine country.  It's where port is born.  Luncheon at a winery and dinner together. One night stand, followed by two nights in Porto and it's a wrap.
