Our 1st Visitors!

Whew! The last 2 weeks have just flown by. Brandon's mom and sister came all the way to the Azores to say hello!! We had a fantastic time. We did one event after the other. Thankfully, the weather was beautiful for them (a majority of the time). We wined and dined them, went dolphin watching, golfing, shopping, and saw so many amazing sites. There was also an annual festival "downtown" that they so happened to come right in the beginning of. :) So we got to see a our 1st ever Azores parade!

I will let the pictures show you the rest of the fun...

Coffee break from our walk with Mas on the "boardwalk".


View from the Statue of Mary, above Praia beach.

Look! Sunny enough to be in actual swimsuits!!!!


Angra Gardens.



Saturday morning was our dolphin watching boat trip. It was almost a 4 hour boat ride, and thankfully we didn't sail in vain. :) The cold, rain, and being sprayed by the ocean was all worth it for the views and the dolphins we actually did see!!! (video below)

Golfing. There is an actual nice clubhouse and everything here.

After dinner at Porto Martins.


At the beautiful wine museum.

Visiting B at his office, his fellow co-workers were kind enough to oblige us and take pictures. :)

At the top of Sierra de Cume.

There was plenty more fun-having, but I picked the best photos to hopefully give you the idea. We were very sad to see them go. Thank you for visiting us!! Miss y'all already.

Well, it is a gloomy Saturday today, the reason I am blogging this morning, so we will see what we come up with to entertain ourselves today. Maybe, it will be blog-worthy for a Monday post!


Video that I can not seem to move any higher, to its correct location.
