Porto
Lello and Irmao Bookstore, inaugurated in 1906. J.K Rowling, now famous author of
Harry Porter, frequented this bookstore during the year she lived in Porto. By the photos, you can tell she drew some of her inspiration from this place. From previous photos of the university students vestments, you can also appreciate some of their influence.

Back in Lisbon for one more night. We witnessed the traditional parades, with lots of chants and music, the upper class men and women (dressed in the traditional black formal wear) welcoming the freshman (wearing yellow T-shirts) to the university. Different groups, separated according to the different faculties, swarmed the city. What a wonderful experience!
We could not leave Lisbon without visiting the wine industry's tasting room. Linda has this dispensing machine on her Christmas wishlist
