After 8 days at sea we finally saw land again. We docked in Ponta Delgada<\/a> in the Azores Islands. This is a modern and fairly large city so we didn’t find any ruins or ancient homes. But we did find a nice harbor and a shopping area where we could buy some trinkets. And a couple of dresses for Marlene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a cool, mostly cloudy day so the photos are not postcard quality. We didn’t eat lunch on shore but did buy a couple of fresh-made pina coladas which were very tasty. And saw a very picturesque carriage. We also got some walking exercise, finally, as we walked into town from the pier, along the harbor and past the 16th-century fortress that guarded the harbor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I watched A Man Called Otto<\/a><\/em> under the stars at night. It was very chilly – around 60 degrees – but I wore my hoodie and didn’t freeze. Good movie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
