Oporto, Portugal

So over the weekend (Saturday, 14 to Monday 16) Lauren Potters and I went to Oporto, Portugal for the weekend.... being that this past weekend was the only weekend available to do the trip. In total, we probably spent 150 dollars at most each of us, that included flight, bus, pocket and hostel. Now that's a very good price!!! We enjoyed ourselves throughout the town, and on the beach. This was one city I didn't want to trek everywhere and research what are THE most important buildings etc etc.... So in short, the first day we rested, rode the gondola, took a winery tour and tasting and tried a typical dish to Portugal: Francescinha (spelling is probably wrong...) Sunday.. for practically the whole day we sat, laid out on the beach for about 4-5 hours which was pretty good.... no burns! and went out to a small bar near our hostel with some of the other peoples from the hostel... It was nice because we've met some locals, one from Canada, couple from France... and many others... But anyway yeah then we got up Monday morning and practically traveled all day back to Leon....

It was fun(link for fotos)... want to go back but France and Italy... you guys are next!
