Our condo is where I drew the arrow. Hard walk up and down. Sandeman Port house on right. Live music everywhere and heard purple rain twice on first night.

Our friends arrive late afternoon today so Eric and I will explore today.

We are leaving the beautiful Douro Valley today and going back to the city for the last few days. Here are some highlights:

Hotel we stayed in was at a working winery. Fabulous place!

We took train into the valley to meet one of Eric's winery contacts. His vineyard was under construction so he we had lunch and great conversation with him right on the river. Had to run to catch our train. I have a lot of train videos and will have to figure out which ones are the best. Train was so cool - scenery unbelievable and we are taking it back to the city today. Took bus here on the way out.

Next day went to Dows winery for tour and tasting and the dinners at the hotel were so much food with unlimited wines - heaven? Eric has tried a lot of different foods here.

This morning we went on an hour walk up to top of hotel vineyard and down to river side.
