On the morning of March 2 we crossed Porto's iconic Ponte Luis I bridge and zig-zagged our way to the Avenida de Diogo Leite that runs along the opposite bank of the Douro River and is home to a string of "Caves" - or wine cellars - for many of the famous and not so famous Port wine makers. It was way too early for port tasting, but the good news was that there was a string of street vendors with local crafts and other wares along the river bank. 

For Nancy, shoes are a passion; so it was easy to say yes to a pair of naturally waterproof sandals, hand-crafted from cork - a Portuguese specialty crop.

This post is intentionally out of order so we can update everyone on how we have spent the past week dealing with the rapidly accelerating tidal wave that is COVID-19.

First, we want to assure everyone that we are well and safely hunkered down in Cascais, Portugal at least until the end of April. Somehow we have managed to stay one country ahead of the wave. We want to acknowledge our family and friends for their concern, support, and advise. The whole world is in this together.

​If you've been following our blog, you'll know that we have code-named travel day as "adventure day". Well...this past week we've had 4 action-packed "adventure days". Here goes...
