I went to Porto, Portugal with three friends from IES for a weekend - we had a really great time! It was really interesting trying to survive without knowing the language, although the majority of the people in touristy places spoke English. We stayed in an amazing hostel with a kitchen, so we got to cook for ourselves each night. Porto was gorgeous - it had a small fishing town atmosphere despite being the 2nd largest city in Portugal. Here are some photos:  |
