My wife and I had four days off in a row, and I found a cheap flight to Porto, Portugal. A good friend living in France joined us there. A nice stroll through the city brought us to São Bento Train Station, known for its blue-tile depictions of life in Portugal.
Wandering the pedestrian streets opposite the station, a sign for port and chocolate caught our attention. All three of us tried different combinations, each of which was presented and discussed by the server with detailed instructions: "Take one bite of this chocolate, then one sip of this port, then a bite of this different chocolate," etc. Yum!
Happening by a Fado venue, the concert was just starting and they had three seats left. One of the players had a twelve string Portuguese guitar, playing while his wife sang. A bride-to-be from Madrid was at the concert with her bridesmaids, enjoying a bachelorette party weekend in Porto.
