Our walk out of Porto today was so wonderful. I love the ocean and the wind a great deal and this day provided both.

Most of our walk consisted of boardwalk with some cobblestone streets passing through little fishing villages. I loved the salt air and smell of the sea.

It wasn’t all glorious though as we discovered that Daisy had been bit by bedbugs somewhere in the last few days. We have an idea where but it’s hard to say for sure since it can take up to 14 days for the itchy and painful bites to show up. Ugggh.

In the morning before we left our room we microwaved as much of our clothing as possible. This apparently kills bedbugs at all stages. When we arrived at our accommodations for the night we quickly went to work gathering all our clothing and blankets and headed for the laundry mat to wash and dry everything. I hope that we eradicated any possibility of carrying them with us. Please Lord! 🙏
