The Night Before the Day Before Ilha de São Miguel, Portugal

 

São Miguel Volcanic Lake  “Lagoon of the Seven Cities”

We are traveling to the beautiful Portuguese island of Sao Miguel on Wednesday.  We will be arriving on Thursday at 6am, tired, sleepy but happy to be there.  I have wanted to see the Azorean islands for a long time during the hydrangea blooming season.  That won't be possible this trip as they will be dormant in November. But the island offers more with volcanic lakes, mountains, hot springs and geysers. The visit a somber trip because we are there to support our friend Kathy Lima as she spreads her husband, John's, ashes. John was a dear friend of both Wayne and I.  I have know him for over 45 years and carry loving memories of his generosity, friendship, humor and more.
