Sweet November

O Porto, A Estátua (The Statue)

File this title under: terrible movies I’ve never seen but whose titles I’ll swipe for a post. It was indeed a fine day in Porto as you can see, a redeeming factor to offset the discomfort of waking up too early for a Friday — or any day, really. I was going to be interviewed on camera downtown, and inwardly I was griping a bit about being on camera again. (I may have been griping outwardly, too. A lot.)

Regardless of why I was downtown, I felt more myself once I’d had my second coffee. I was in Porto centre the previous day, too, for a meeting but I had Ice the Dog with me and my camera didn’t make it out of the bag once. This tends to happen more than I’d like because Ice’s enthusiasm for exploration requires major supervision and a tight grip on the leash. But he wasn’t with me this time and I was free to take photos, and take I did… I also have a slew of photos of a Shazequin called Jack, but that’s a post for another day. For now, it’s just Porto on the last Friday of November 2015.
