Intro of Azores and ME

The Azores are nine islands of the coast of Portugal. The name of all nine islands are Santa Maria, Sao Miguel, Terceira, Graciosa, Flores, Pico, Sao Jorge, Faial, and Corvo. All of the islands are similar but have their differences as well. Some islands have set names for themselves such as Terceira as the bull fighting island and Sao Jorge as the island of cheese. Each island has their own piece of history. I have traveled to Terceira, Graciosa, and Sao Miguel. I would love and will travel to all the other islands. I want to taste a little of each island and see what each is all about. Out of the islands I enjoy the best is Graciosa. I say this why? Even though my parents are from there does not mean I have to love it but the thing is I do. The past 5 years I have gone their every year. I enjoy spending time there becuase when I am there my lifestyle changes. It is a paradise to me but for my family and friends as well.

Map of Azores

Hey there, just thought it would be useful to actually see where the Azores is. So here is a map of the Azores which was found on www.lennartz-electronic.de/Media/GIFs/azores.gif
This map will show where and how the islands are arranged. As you can see they are in a location of peace in the middle of the ocean. I will post some of my own images of the islands I have visited in the future.
