We continued our tour of Porto today, so here’s the day in pictures.
Livraria Lello, a famous bookstore in Porto that is, for us, reminiscent of Elliott Bay Bookstore, formerly of downtown Seattle, though Lello is grander.
Casa Da Musica, a music school designed by Rem Koolhaas, the Dutch architect who designed the downtown Seattle Library. While it’s probably a more complex building design due to the need to deal with acoustics for the concert halls, it isn’t as visually interesting as the library. We took a tour and enjoyed it.
Today's transit photo, we rode the Metro out to Casa Da Musica.
After another lunch at an outdoor sidewalk cafe (at the end of October!) we took an hour long boat cruise on the River Doura which offered very nice views of the town and each of the 6 bridges crossing the river.
And finally, the bane of all travelers looking for a picturesque photo…….
the satellite dish!
