Ray is off scuba diving so I thought I would take a moment to introduce you to the Azores. Açores (in Portuguese) is a Region of Portugal. It is composed of nine volcanic islands in the Atlantic Ocean, about 1,400 km west of Lisbon, and about and about 1,930 km southeast of Newfoundland. For the next five days, we will be exploring the largest island of São Miguel. We are staying in the small town of São Roque population 5000. Our accommodations are right on the beach—which has black sand due to the erosion of the lava basalt! The area is popular with surfers. A guy was out on the waves with a Foilboard when we were walking the beach. It was even more interesting to watch live than in the videos I’ve seen. We are excited to share this island with you. Stay posted😄 You are Always in my Prayers. Love Mom.

How much do you guys pay extra to be on the beach front?

Yes….the cheapest place we could get near here that still had decent rating and cooking was about $20/night cheaper. This place is more than we try to pay. It is about $120/night including breakfast. This and the castle are the two reasons we had to do some dormitories to bring the average down.

I went on two snorkelling trips. Only Ray has his scuba diving qualifications. I love to snorkel though.
