Sao Jorge, the Azores!

We arrived on Sao Jorge Wednesday, July 28th around the same time as our college friends and about 100 other people flying from the US to the Azores for the wedding! It was amazing to see how many people came to celebrate with Connie and Javi...they should feel very lucky and blessed. The moment we stepped off the plane we were greeted by the happy couple and had the rest of the week pretty much planned for us, a great way to experience the island. We had an absolutely wonderful time; a HUGE thank you to Connie and Javi for the trip of a lifetime! Let's do it again next year :-).

The sunsets were beautiful!

Joesph! This guy worked for the hotel and did absolutely anything and everything for us. Thank you Joseph!

Terceira, we stayed here the night before our flight home.
I wished we could have had more time here.

Sagres and Portguese beans - a complete meal!

Everyone HAS to have a Portugese rooster!
