Friday was the kick-off the biggest event here in Terceria. Praia-fest! A 10 day festival filled with music, food, parades, and Hoobastank. Yes, you read that right. They will be here August 3rd.
People take leave for this. I don't get it?
Being the social butterflies that we are, on Friday we were determined to surpass our 10:00pm bedtime and head out to paint the town red. Some lovely folks were in on the fun too. We thought that if we had a late dinner together, we could all help each other stay awake.
Some rain and a brinner later (breakfast for dinner, which equals YUM!) there were many thoughts spoken aloud,
"Does anyone really want to go?"
"I think it is going to rain again."
"We still have next weekend."
As you probably guessed it we missed the kick-off of Praia-fest.
We made up for it yesterday, by going out with some other lovely folks to walk around to see what there was to offer and enjoying some wine from one of the restaurants from Maderia (another island of Portugal, closer to Africa). This time we did it right, and left the house a little after 6:00pm to assure we would make it home before 10:00pm. :)
