The Azores

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

I just returned from a quick four days in the Azores, a Portuguese paradise that has seemed to escape tourism marketing. Nine islands, stranded in the mid-Atlantic, each with distinct character. UNESCO world heritage towns and vineyards, fresh seafood and cheeses, wild flowers everywhere, hot springs, bull fights, crater lakes, Portugal’s highest mountain, and restored old walking paths crisscrossing the terrain.

Some snapshots here.
