Porto, Portugal, October 15, 2018

I couldn't check into the hostel until 3 pm so I went exploring Porto in the drizzle. Grey, cloudy skies do not make for nice pictures but maybe tomorrow will be sunny!
The Torre des Clerigos was completed in 1763 and can be seen from all over Porto-
It's part of the Clerigos Church which is in baroque style and was completed in 1750. The main altar is decorated with baroque motifs-

A winding staircase takes you to the second floor-
They have two rare editions of Le Petit Prince, in English and in French, signed by Antoine de Saint Exupery in 1943. There were only 260 French copies and 525 English copies printed-
J.K. Rowling says this bookstore was a huge inspiration for her in writin…
