No Turtle didn’t go back to Porto, Portugal, I’m just getting back to posting from the wealth of pictures she sent me. I have one more batch, then I have to wrassle Sara’s Russia and Spain pictures away from her.

Here’s Porto:

Love that arch on the facade (courtyard gate?) and the street art.

Those are great doors. I like the first one that shows the decorated glass panels and the hardware, too.

  I love cool hardware. I love hardware, period. When Charlie would stop at a hardware store and I was along, he’d have to hunt me down after he was ready to check out. Weird.
