I didn&#8217;t plan on returning early to the US to visit a friend in hospice. I planned on writing a detailed post on abundant treasures of Porto and Lisbon. I didn&#8217;t plan on having to move in five days. So, this post will be a pictorial of two cities, both of which are intoxicating and to which I&#8217;d like to return and explore further.<\/p>\n<p>Then, on an upcoming hump Wednesday, I &#8220;plan&#8221; to write a synopsis of my near-year on the road as a TravelBeing.<\/p>\n<p>(EeeGads, pardon the random order of photos &#8212; I can&#8217;t manipulate their placement and want to
