Had we been here two months ago, we actually could have stomped the grapes!
We are in the Douro Valley, the home of port wine. Tonight we reside at an eco-friendly winery, Quinta de la Rosa. My resident photographer captured this artistic image outside our room.
Our weather has been rather phenomenal, with our guide today even commenting on the sunshine. We were prepared for rain – which could still happen – not snow, which has happened in other parts of the country – and are grateful for this beautiful weather.
Headed out to dinner. Cross the octopus and cod off the list of national foods to appreciate, and we are good to go. I would order the kale soup again!

I would keep your photographer on the payroll!! Beautiful 👌🏼
Will do! You would know a good photographer!
