Faial

Because my memory cards were almost full, I had to take pictures with another camera-and I don't have those pictures now-so please forgive me for the little glimpse on Faial. I just have to tell you that this lovely island is as charming as Pico-oh, I forgot something important-DON'T ever go to Peter Cafe Sport - http://www.petercafesport.com/ - they are terrible, have awful high prices, the food is miserable and honestly I have no idea how they get to survive on the poor service they deliver - but this is because Portuguese are tooooooo kind. Ok, so now that I said it, you can just enjoy Faial and Horta as any other tourist. I was lucky enough to get to see a traditional "fiesta", to see fireworks on the last day-hm, I guess they were especially for us, incredible :-)), to swim in a warm ocean next to some happy kids who have the most wonderful childhood without knowing it, to see an amazing church and admire a beautiful statue of Nossa Senhora da Fátima and the three shepherds in the garden of another church. The hotel was amazingly beautiful, I swam until the very last moment and jumped into the cab with my hair wet. On our way to the airport I found out details about the life of the driver, who made a discount just for us to get a coffee-aren't Portuguese just too sweet? :-) and then got to wave to the passengers getting out of the airplane that just landed and that took us back to Lisbon. This is a very fast glimpse at the Azores, where a part of my heart still remained :-)
