ONLINE VACATION
AZORES, PORTUGAL
9/19/13
Hi Everyone - Yesterday, we visited Appenzellerand, Switzerland.
Today, we are going to Azores, Portugal.
Consisting of nine islands, the Azores are divided
into three groups: the eastern (Sao Miguel
and Santa Maria islands), the central (Terceira, Graciosa,
Sao Jorge, Pico and Faial islands), and the
western (Flores and Corvo islands). Apart from international
airports of Santa Maria, Ponta Delgada and
Angra do Heroismo, there are flights to the
islands (operated by the regional airline TAP Air Portugal)
and ferry boats between the islands.
Some things you will see here are the
sapphire blue and emerald green lakes, beautiful prairies,
volcanic cones and craters, colorful hydrangeas and azaleas,
15th century churches and majestic manor houses.
These beautiful islands enjoys year-round mild temperatures
between 57°F and 71°F. A population of
about 250,000 people call it home.
I hope you enjoyed today's trip to the
islands of Azores, Portugal.
