PORTA (potty), PORTUGAL

Well, maybe that's a little harsh, but we did get the impression that picturesque Porta has seen better days. Hit hard, like a lot of surrounding countries by recent economic woes, Porta seems to be suffering a lot these days...a far cry from the time when this East Coast river port city launched sailing ships which ruled the waves, colonized countries worldwide and brought back plenty of bounty.




These unique flat bottom boats transport barrels of wine (including famous Port) up and down the river...











Good Luck, Porta... 
You're gonna need it,

Tom
