Welcome 2017!!
I hope everyone had a lovey new year and are now looking forward to what this years has to bring! To start of the year id love to show you some images from my trip to Portugal this past summer. It was a truly wonderful experience full of culture and adventure. If you have the chance id definitely recommend visiting Azores. I went to Portugal with my friends and her family. Her family is originally from Santa Maria, Portugal so it was definitely interesting to see what home is like for them. I couldn't really speak the language but my friend was a pretty good translator. And most of the younger generation spoke English so it wasn't to hard anyhow. Also i started picking it up and being able to understand as time went on. Pico Alto (The highest point on the island) The beaches were amazing. In Santa Maria there were two rock beaches and two sand beaches. Although we stayed on the one island most of the time the beaches were all so different from one side to the other.
