Kat at 60 and Beyond

This part of my trip seemed so surreal. I was placd smack dab in the middle of everything I love! The peace of nature, Yoga, farm to table food, chai tea, and a dog! What more can the 60-year-old ask for???

The new dietary guidelines for protein are based on kilograms per pound of body weight NOT pounds. Don’t make that mistake, your kidney will thank me. Take your body weight and divid by 2.2 al- that will tell you the total grams of protein you should be getting each day. Then divide that between three meals. Remember, don’t overeat protein add a meal, it will mess with your digestion.

After leaving the “Six Senses“ resort in Duoro Valley, where I experienced two days of pampering, I arrived at the Paseo Da Ragua train station- I quickly learned there was no air-conditioning anywhere. When the train arrived, the locals were hanging out the windows - huge red flag 😂but it was humbling.

I love to experience the culture of each country I visit. A few things I experienced in Porto - sitting at a café you hear a plethora of different languages, you see many different nationalities of all different colors, very few white. The people of Porto are kind and most speak three languages generously. Portuguese, Spanish and English. I was covered! I got to practice my Spanish with my Uber driver while he practiced his English. ❤️
They are proud of their country, as one bartender told me, he was born in Portugal and he will die there! ❤️
walking in the city was a great workout every day😉
If you visit, be sure to wear sneakers or a shoe that can withstand the cobblestone streets.
Was not as hot as I expected! Air condition in restaurants and hotels. My next stop today is a river cruise along the Douro River.

On my “eat, pray, love” trip this qualifies as love and pray. 🍴🙏💖✈️🌍

It’s not something you could understand until you experience it yourself. You walk in not knowing anyone and leaving with 20 new friends. The vulnerability, the common desire to grow emotionally and spiritually, the sacred space - something I couldn’t explain you have to experience it yourself. This was one of the most unique experiences of my lifetime so far…… now, onto my pilgrimage in Porto! 🍴🙏💖✈️🌍
