Hola from Porto, Portugal! 

Alright before I Delve too deep into what I've been up to let me just say how is it that nearly all of Portugal speaks flawless English, yet as Americans ( and Spanish for that matter) don't g terribly far out of there way to learn a second language whatsoever.  Honestly before I got here I tried to get the basic Portuguese words down (which is a actually difficult just because Portuguese makes no sense) but it turns out o can go up to anyone and they all speak English really well, it was great! 

So far Portugal has exceeded my expectation is almost rather stay longer here than go back to Madrid. The city of Porto is absolutely knock out gorgeous.  While I wouldn't say its the cleanest city it has a lot of charm to it.  Lots of graffiti and disheveled buildings are everywhere bug it looks really cool.  On top of staying in probably the best hostel of all time Porto has been by far my favorite city.

I went and walked around the touristy area along the river front and took in the sites despite having a nasty cold (I am not sire of its from staying until 6 in the morning or something it bogglea me) it was a great day.  I've got my little bit of Portuguese down now for talker to older folks who don't speak English but other than that I haven't needed to speak it.  Doesn't mean I don't want to learn it but here in Portugal they really almost spoil you with how much English they speak.  

Anyway I'm going to keep this post shorter because I keep having to blow my nose but the last thing I will note is Portuguese food (all of it) is a gut buster whoah boy.  I had a meal with french fries steak ham cheese sausage and mushroom all piled together it was sort of epic meal time esque.  Oh yeah of course how coils o forget the Bacon.  I hope I feel better I wanted to go checkout some live shows they had going on tonight but I might just take it easy and make sure this doesn't get any worse.  Guess that ,means I'll have to come back sometime... ah darn.

Cheers
