November 7 - Portugal, Day 21
Today, our first day in Porto, was a slow day. I took only one roll of film (or the equivalent of).
The day varied with sun, cloud, or rain. To get the lay of the city, we took a tour on the hop on-hop off bus, but we did no hopping off.

Porto is not as interesting as Lisbon. It does have some interesting sites, but these are not in as concentrated areas as in Lisbon.

Porto also has an old tram system, but it is quite a bit smaller.

These two old churches had interesting azulejos, hand-painted tiles which are a legacy of the Moors, on their exteriors.
Our day's highlight was a visit to Livraria Lello, a 1906 bookstore, which required an entry fee.
The interior of this store was worth the entry fee.
