I haven't seen this circulating here on Tumblr, so I decided to make my own post.

last saturday, in Porto, there was a pride parade going down the street and this old man was standing there, by his front door, waving the portuguese flag. most people on the parade probably thought the same: old person waving the national flag? he's probably protesting against the parade, he's a nationalist of some sort.

then the old man called for that person to come near him. the whole parade stopped. everyone just.. stopped moving. they didn't know what to expect, and most expected the worst. and that person decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and approached the old man. and then... they traded flags, he hugged the person and then he waved the pride flag happily. everyone cheered him.

such a wholesome moment. 🥹❤️🌈

If I were an architect, I would include as much color as possible in my buildings. Why stick with earth tones when your city can look like this?

(Porto, 11/11)

Almost every building was covered in these beautiful tiles, known as azulejos in portuguese.

I tried to find one that had fallen off of a building, but I only found boring pieces. I kept an olive green one with ridges, prompting my friend to accuse me of hoarding trash. As they say, one man's trash is another man's azulejos.

Lello Bookstore. Everything was overpriced, so we just went in to see this uniquely beautiful staircase. The wood twists in on itself enough to be a set in a Tim Burton movie. Photos were also not allowed in here.

I broke the law.

Chocolate beer sounded like something we needed to try when we first saw it.

Then we tried it.

São Bento, one of the 14 most beautiful train stations in the world. The azulejos are painted with Portugal's history.

When we saw the first street, we exclaimed about how amazing it was. Our portuguese friend let us know that those streets were everywhere and they didn't interest her much anymore. 

While they did turn out to be everywhere, they were all pretty cool.

(Porto, 11/11/11)

When we arrived on the train, we saw the beach during the rainstorm. The waves were big, and we decided we needed to go to the beach, rain or not. We love beaches here in landlocked Salamanca. It was about 4:00 when we decided to go to the beach, but it took longer than we thought it would to get there.

Luckily, that meant it had stopped raining and the sun was setting.

Porto is the home of port wine (clever), and these boats were used for transporting the wine from the wineries on one side of the river to the drinkers on the other side.

Mantova, Porto Catena il varco di accesso alla piccola insenatura del Lago Inferiore. In esso defluiscono ancora le acque del Rio, il canale realizzato alla fine del 1100 per regolare le acque che circondavano la città. #lageografiadellenuvole #lombardia #mantova #segnievidenti #cultura #luoghi #italia #lagoinferiore #accessi #porto #portocatena #igersitalia (presso Lungo Lago Mantova)
