Interesting day on the river. First stop Peso de Regis Par Museum where we had an introductory lecture on the flora, geography and history of the Duoro River. The gift shop was mostly bottles of wine and port. In the afternoon we went to Lemego where there is a large cathedral to the Virgin Des Remedios. Dean unable to go due to knee pain, so I walked down the 400+ stairs from the church to the little town where we drank more port and had little had little cheese sandwiches (Bolas). In the evening we went to Quinta de Pacheco, a local winery where we had port, wine and a lovely dinner with a huge dessert selection. The weather was intermittent showers but not an issue for this northwesterener. On up river tomorrow.
