I was planning a trip
for April 2020
to the place
that is placed
on the number one spot
on my list of spots
I was not rich enough
to lose it for a lockdown
but dreams do come true
if you make them
after all, it’s 2020, too
•
it all started with impermanence
a month after returning
delusional with covid
aiming out, I bought it
a one-way round-trip
to hike with a T-shirt
there’s still no ticket back
it is on my mind
somewhere in the back
•
first there was vacation
arriving without a vision
the first of its kind
with only my own business to mind
just a bed in a dorm
and a list of things I wanted to eat
so I started walking
in Porto, the city
that is so not flat
but so full of tourists
I enjoyed the city a lot
and its people
so close to my heart ❤️

”drink a lot of wine
but don’t eat bread”
I tried 10 wines in a day
(just one day, okay)
regarding the bread
give me a break
I walk 20K per day
and had pastel de natas
for breakfast every day
•
cod does not taste like much
but you should try bacalhau
”the salted version”
a bit too expensive
for a daily treat
but otherwise, so great
don’t buy it from the store
it takes three days to prepare
within a year I’ve gone from
cow milk cappuccinos
to shots of espressos
may it be the bitterest part
of the rest of my sunny Portugal
