It was worth crossing the Atlantic to reach the amazing Azores. Just ask this little cheeper!
The islands are like a fantastic jungle garden of Eden.
Check out the trees,
and grottos!
The islands are volcanic and verdant.
Definitely worth croaking about!
It is especially nice visiting paradise when people are happy to see you!
There are vibrant towns with arts & culture just waiting for you to explore~
These historic islands are part of Portugal and have old European charm.
Cheers to you from the amazing Azores~
(Please excuse my being out of touch. Wifi is still hard to come by.)
Wow……. these are truly astonishing and amazing. I will probably share some of them in our June newsletter. Thanks so much for traveling so we can see scenes like these.
