Azores

My grandparents were from the island of Terceira in the Azores. This August I had the pleasure of traveling

to this beautiful island to find my roots and heritage

My Grandma Lena's church in her village Cinco Ribeiras (Five Brooks)

Swimming pools of the Atlantic Ocean truly amazing

I had heard of the place the old country as the affectionately referred to it...was nothing like imagined

This is the city Angra Herismo and in the background where the rainbow is my Grandfather Luiz village

Feteira

In his village he told of the elau of the cabras (islet of the goats) look down to the ocean and my house sits

facing the middle of the split ( My grandfather would be 108 if he was alive)

To be there walking the steps and reliving the memories was something I don't think I could ever put into

words. More later Pinkie

Denise,
I am so glad you got to do this. I am such a mix of nationalities that I feel I have lost my heritage. I love the blue in the churches and other buildings. Does Azores mean blue?

Weare so soon to Silver Bella! I cannot wait to see you!

Hugs,
Suz

I had to refresh the page 2 times to view this page for some reason, however, the information here was worth the wait.
