Porto in July 2014: a few more photos


During a day of almost continuous rain in Newtonmore (thanks I suspect to the lasting influence of Hurricane Bertha), I've made another attempt to get on top of sorting out photos. This time deleting photos from camera memory cards. I know I should keep on top of deleting photos once I have downloaded them. Unfortunately onceyou let this slip it takes a long time to check that all the photos on the card have been downloaded. So here is a small additional selection from our visit to Porto in July.
