 A view from the train:

Scenic Porto vistas. The weather was irenic, idyllic.


This post's theme word is irenic, "promoting peace or conciliation." None of the Orkney weather words apply.

The rooster is a national symbol of Portugal, so it adorns every item in the touristy part of town. I managed to restrain myself from buying this apron. Just barely.



This post's theme word is platyrrhine, "having a broad, flat nose." Yes, that's a very nice bird, but do you have anything more... platyrrhine?
