Our luck finally ran out yesterday on our day trip to Guimaraes which is about a hour and half day train ride north. We actually jinxed ourselves…”we have been so lucky that every time it rains hard we are in a building and haven’t got that wet.” That theory works well when you’re not sitting in a bar enjoying some wine and you have 10 minutes to get to the train. We were soaked running to the tracks, good thing for our European washer/dryer combo that only takes 10 hours to dry clothes!
It turns out that yesterday was also a holiday and much of the city was closed. We were able to see the medieval Palace of the Dukes of Braganza and enjoy a few local shops and cafes. The highlight was the tiny wine shop we stopped at right before the skies exploded. The wine he recommended and the steak sandwich we shared was absolutely delicious.
One more day then back to reality and all that entails for retirees…sorry Brett.
