Bom dia de Porto!

Here are pictures from our first visit to Portugal, and to the Taylor warehouses across from Porto in Gaia. We had to walk up a stone street to get there. The cask markings are Arabic in origin and the top one is based on how much a woman could carry in a bottle on her head - something like that - and the other is how many cart loads - ask Gerald - he'll do the math for you. It was very fragrant in that warehouse - and I wondered about the effects of osmosis. And those are lemons I found in their gardens.
