Time to know Oporto

THE SISTERS ARE BACK! :D Thanks to God, Kelley recovered faster than we could have ever imagined, and fortunately she didn't miss any more than the hard-working day. Both sisters could finaly join the rest of the group in our adventures.


Our first stop was in a Port wine Cellar, Croft. We learnt a bit about how they make port wine and had the opportunity to try a nice Ruby wine. Muito bom!

Then we walked down to a place by the river Douro. After lots of individual pictures, we could finally gather everybody for a group photo.

Before lunchtime, we still had some time to go to Serra do Pilar, a high place near one of Oporto's bridges, to do some sightseeing, listen to Mr Reinaldo's explanations about the city and do more sightseeing.

Our lunch was a pic-nic in the City Park, but unfortunately our batteries were too low and we were not able to take pictures of that. However, we can say it was a very nice. :D
After lunch, we went to Fernando Pessoa University, where we visited the Communication and Health departments. We also had a surprise, as some of us appeared in the College's News on television, which we were not expecting. We will soon post the links to the website where you can find the videos.


Finaly, to finish our work day, we went to Bristol School Institute, where we took part in the students' classes. In between teaching English, learning new things about the country and playing some games, I think we all had lots of fun there.



It was a very blessed day. We hope that the good weather you've brought may come back soon, as we have lots of work outside. Check this blog later for some more information about the next chapter...
