Oporto! Day 5




Took the easier path to Oporto today. After a long slog into Oilvera de Azermeis yesterday I was a mess on many levels. Today staying at a lovely Pensao in Oporto, and getting some laundry happening. Had a magnificent meal last night, Zoupa de Legume and Omelette Espanhola. Food has been good on this route.
Hope to make Vilarinho tomorrow.
Thanks for the encouragement, I hope to break out from the House of Pain, and find that House of Insight. I have had one significant moment, which I will not elaborate on here.
Cristina, thanks for posting for me. Happy father´s day to the dads tomorrow.

Have only just managed to read your blog. Sorry to hear about your feet - it must be unbearable. We spoke about taking your time before you left & "smelling the roses" .........
Happy Father's day for Sunday!

Fathers Day leaves me feeling pretty empty these days, I hope your trek brings some meaning back into it for you also. Maybe I need to do something like this. Good luck with the rest of your journey, I will keep Mum informed through your page on here.Hope you have a memorable Fathers Day over there. Look after your feet!!
love

Have a break to allow for recovery, and enjoy a couple

people on the way.

A Quote.
From "Happy Feet", the movie. Hoping this will be you in a day or two.
Memphis: Whatcha doin' there, boy?
Baby Mumble: [tap dancing] I'm happy, Pa!
Memphis: Whatcha doin' with your feet?
Baby Mumble: [looks down] They're happy, too!
