We ended up staying a few nights, happy to be in a place devoid of tourists and glad of the opportunity to mix with the locals and listen to their Saturday night Karaoke shindig in the square below the church.

... hours in which my host in Porto, José Martins, and I struggled to meet each other. I would have a number of such instances as Satan was really attempting to destroy the success of this trip, but God always intervened. I observed the Sabbath on April 4 in the home of José Martins, who is a long-standing member, and his family, namely his wife, Rosa ...
