Day 3: Porto

After a good night sleep we were ready to explore Porto.  With our maps in hand a book in our bag.  We headed out the door to first find something for breakfast.  Store owners here really dent have good English.  We had to do a lot of pointing and attempting to pronounce what is written on the menu.  After successfully getting some food we began our wander around the city.  The city of hill exploration continued.  Every where we went it was either and up or down climb but we did find a funicular to ride up with at one point which was a nice change to walking.  By late afternoon we were a bit tired and decide to visit our local food store for some snacks and then to head back to our room to relax for a bit. In the evening only my brother and I decided to go out to look for dinner.  We decided to stay decently close to our area but soon realized that little is far away. Though the problem is that dinner culture in this are of the world is to have dinner late which makes it hard for tourists.  As we wandered around looking, we started to notice that there were a few other groups of tourists also looking for a place eat.  In the end we gave in to a decently priced place and started the trend.  Dinner ended up being nothing special but filling.   We returned to our room to plan out our final day in Porto which would include a walking tour and a Wine tour.
