Our sponsor family offered
us their truck for the morning to explore the island.
The plan was to caravan with
an experienced teacher and some other newby's making a circle along the coast. We began traveling North on winding roads taking lots pictures and some of us getting grumpy.
The roads are teeny tiny so we had some close calls, one with a donkey cart. At one stop we could see a concrete pool made into the lava rock next to a natural wading pool.
It was beautiful!
Can you tell which one's are incorporative?
We made it as far as Biscoitos and the little girls both had their separate melt-downs so we broke off from the pack and did our own thing. These natural wading pools are amazing! Steps and bridges have been built into the lava to allow access. The landscape had a science fiction feel. Combine that with our light skin and the conversations in Portuguese around us, it was interesting.
Bonnie and I did the sunbathing while the others tried out the water. Randy was pinched by a crab and the tide swells made him nervous with the little ones, but in all
the side trip was a hit!
Signing off from our island paradise, Karen

Wow, it looks wonderful. It reminds me of Hawaii. Are you sure you can't find us some cheap tickets? Just me and Lincoln of course....
I want to come and swim in the beautiful blue water. Can't you adopt me or I can pretend to be your mentally challenged sister that your parents can no longer care for so I can come and live with you. Do you think the government would fall for that. I'll even pee on myself to convince them....really, I don't have a problem with that.
Marcey really doesnt have any problem peeing on herself - she did it often in Malaysia (granted it wasnt on purpose though, she just couldnt get used to going in a hole in the ground)
I thought you were my mentally challenged sister!?! What? Mark is definitely my mentally challenged brother. Then again, I don't want people to think any of us are related. YIKES!
