Travelog post for: Vladimir

Hello, hello!

I haven't updated my travel log for quite a longe time, but now I'm back with new photos

This time I went to Azores, a portuguese archipelago of 9 beautifil islands.

I went to the Santa Maria Island, one of the smallest in the archipelago.

I had one of the best beaches in the world by my side:



The beaches aren't too big, but the sand is like velvet, the water is very clean and the air very pure



One day we went to Maia, a small place by the sea, and we found these ducks living there freely:



This baby is soooo cute 





The outskirts of the place:







Hm...me, Migui+Gui, Mumu and Margarida were ofered grapes from the region



The typical boat:



The sunset:



Those are typical tools used in the ancient times: the mill wheels and the jars to store food and drink:





In this place Cristopher Colombus stoped on his way to Europe, after discovering America:



In these islands there is a tradition of serving a special soap in honor of the Holy Spirit.
The soap is served for free to anyone who wants to come in and is made like in the ancient times, with home made bread and meat from the cows of the people there:





The queue for the soaps:



Inside the chapel:





Eating the soap:



Mumu introduced us some member of her family.
They live happy and in peace in this islands



It is amazing to feel surrounded by sea:





Look ate the color of the sand there:



And this is Faneco, the sweetest dog I ever met, although it seems he wanted to eat me :P



I may say I loved this travel

Tiger kisses,
