Day 11 Pico 7-9-10

Day 11.

So today the day started waking up at 11 to go on around the island by car. We started in Sao Roque do Pico and headed east on our journey around the island. We made a quite a few stops and took some very good pictures. We even headed around on the mountain roads. To our suprise they were quite good roads better than we had expected, we didn't get lost but we also didn't have any set agenda on where we were going. We hit the major parts of the island and even managed to grab a bite to eat along the way. The sun was super hot and was not that great to take pictures. So i'm not gonna write much today but i'll post some pics with some captions.

ENJOY!

This flower had an amazing smell we stopped the car and the area had one of the most amazing aromas in the area. I was lucky enough to catch a bee going crazy at it.

Just some more plants.

This is a type of wild strawberry. They can be found in different area of the island.

I think these are lily's. They were all over the place on this drive.

This is one of the lakes that we saw passing through the mountainous terrain.

This cow we drove by and I did a double take out window. Yes he's missing part of his leg. I proudly named him george and we moved on. I miss you already George.

Another lake blurred with the foreground in focus. I did this on purpose.

Anyway, The trip went well we survived. We missed a few places that we wanted to see but there's always tomorrow.

We came home and Justin got some rest. We had Caipirinhas and we taught some cousins and friends of mine the game, I never. Lets just say they got shit faced.

RECIPE FOR CAIPIRINHAS:

Makes 1 glass

1 Lime cut in to quarters

1 Soup Spoon of Torbino sugar

Fill your glass with very fine chopped ice.

Add Cachaca till the flavor is right

Use a blender that will help with the mixtures.

I'm going to shower cause i stink so good night all.
