One Way Ticket

(Well keep going east till we’re home)

Pico and Wine November 19, 2024

The transportation of our bodies from Boston to Sao Jorge in the Azores was tiring but uneventful. The host and owner of Marficas Hostel, Tania Acevedo was most pleasant and helpful. The hostel is itself beautiful, clean well equipped and has a stunning view of pico Mountain. Seeing Mount pico Summit above the cloud bank as the plane descended to its destination was a familiar and heartwarming experience as we had spent time on that island in February.

We ate our first meal on the Hostel patio, which gave us a sunset view of Mount pico.

As it was a sunny warm 68° day, we walked the local roads, mostly without any sidewalk and familiarized ourselves with the lay of the land around the Hostel. We walked 5.7 miles, all of it either up or down an incline. The sun pinked our faces and the top of my head. It was just a lovely day to once again be in the Azores.
