Long day today. Today hurt. We met in the breakfast area at 7. The American girls no longer wanted to walk with us now that we showed them the dogs were not so scary. We leapfrogged them several times during the day and waved.
The first 5km or so was quite pleasant walking through quiet neighborhoods. After that it was a lot of busy noisy roads. These really seem slow because you cannot carry on a conversation.
We got coffee regularly. Today felt like a grind to me. We opted to take a more direct route bypassing Grijó. I think it was about the same amount of traffic and a lot shorter.
We had a very good lunch at 5 Amigos. We are finally getting the ordering right. We ordered an appetizer, soup, salad and a single roast chicken entree. This was just slightly more than the perfect amount of food.
As we began the descent to Porto we stopped for a rest and coffee. The lady running the place tried really hard to pair her 45 daughter (still living at home) with Francisco.
It finally ended and after having trouble finding a place for a beer we found one. Mike met us there and we stayed way longer than were should have. 3 rounds later we staggered off to our hotels.
We met for the legendary Francesinha at Café Santiago. We ate and drank a lot. A fun evening.
