This was our first visit to the Azores, a group of islands about 600 miles west of Portugal, politically a part of Portugal. The ship arrived in the morning and left around dinner time. It was delightful, we walked for a couple of hours, had coffee and pastries in a funky coffee shop in what looked like a former pharmacy, and did a little shopping.
May of the sidewalks are paved with volcanic rock, inset with limestone in geometric patterns.
The smell of the ripe pineapples was amazing.

It is hard to know which photos are black and white, if any, and which aren't. They are great photos. We never get the smell of ripe pineapples, and maybe you don't either. The quality of fruit and vegetables here compared to Europe is shocking.
