Day 79:

The car ride to Porto was definitely a fun one. Not knowing what to expect, we sat in the car half asleep. Upon our arrival, we stopped in to see the local Kingdom Hall. We waited for the meeting to end and visited with the brothers and sisters in the English Congregation for a while. The congregation was only 23 publishers and in desperate need for help. One couple that we met, the Ramirez family, had just moved in from New York. The husband, a former CO, had definitely made us feel the best we had felt in a long time when he told us how proud he was of us and how happy we were making Jehovah in being here. Definite highlight of the day.

After having lunch with some friends in the Porto English congregation, we headed out to tour the city. Walking the streets, we made our way to the wine cellars (we are in Porto... we had to see the Port Cellars). We spent the majority of our day on a wine tasting and tour, it was such a beautiful way to spend the day.

In the evening, we made our way to the beach and watched the water, enjoying each others' company before we made our way back. The three hour car ride was fun as well. We spent the whole time blasting music, exhausted form our trip to Porto, Portugal.
