Classes Begin and Wine Tasting!

It's been an interesting week so far here in Porto.. My classes have gotten off to a good start, Portuguese is actually not that difficult of a language to understand coming from speaking Spanish but actually conversing in Portuguese is a bit more difficult due to some slight differences. However, it is probably one of the coolest classes ever because right after class we all went as a group to a famous Port wine "caverno" or a giant wine cellar where the infamous Porto (Port) wine comes from. Got to try some free samples, I was a happy (and slightly tipsy) camper 

And today I decided to hike back to my house from the school which is truly an incredible walk. I managed to snap this photo, the beginning of the vast Atlantic Ocean!

That's all for today but stay tuned there is so much more to come, for example on Friday we are visiting Braga further north, so expect some even cooler photos! Obrigado!
