Wednesday, on the [Rail]Road Again

Wednesday morning, we packed our bags, ate another delicious Portuguese breakfast…

…and arranged to meet the driver transporting us to the railroad depot.   We would be taking the high-speed train to Porto, a 209 mile journey that will take less than three hours and cost about $27 in U.S. dollars for first-class seats.

The train offered comfortable seating…

…but traveling at 135 miles per hour, the views out the window could sometimes appear a bit blurry.
