Easter holidays at Porto

With a chance to mingle with equally nomadic-minded people, promise of activities and sightseeing tours guided by local people, in one of the current best valued destination in europe, i did not hesitate to sign up for the CS Porto Galicia event on Easter.
I decided not to bring a camera.  Photos here are from the organizers and from some couchsurfers i met and a couple from the ever trusted camera of my iphone.

the enthralled audience

i did not understand any word but i was told that it was a sad song

my only solo pic on my four days in porto



with a porto guy who had been to phil, a joy to hear him say a lot of good things about phil

a smaller group at this point, we kind of separated with the rest
