My trip to Sao Miguel

My anniversary was definitely worth all the money, time, and planning.  It definitely felt like another honeymoon.  Well, as promised, here are some pictures!
The collage to the right is of the hotsprings we found on a random drive.  Since we don't know all the signs, we found that following the brown signs led to something amazing.  You can swim in one of the built pools, but the natural springs are not allowed.
The changing stations are pretty nice, except for some nasty presents left behind by the not-so-hygienic females...All in all, it was still very beautiful and we managed to run into a couple of Germans and possible South Africans (according to the accents).

Here in this picture collage, there is a research facility atop the mountain.  There's also another angle of the changing booths.  To the left is the end of the trail due to a huge cliff side and fallen stones.  All in all, this trip on the wilderness side left me to believe the possibility of dinosaurs still alive.  I'm on to you Michael Crichton.

So here's my favorite picture I took while on the trip!  I really like the detail for a non-dslr camera. I am no crackshot with a camera, so this is my favorite. I mean seriously, look at the awesome dewiness on the moss growing on the stone wall.  This spot was absolutely amazing to begin with.  We just had a very flirtatious couple next to us making it quite well known they were completely randy for each other.  In other words, VERY UNCOMFORTABLE and AWKWARD moment. 


All in all it was a great and wonderful trip full of natural life, getting lost trying to find our way to our hotel, learning the difference between an American automatic vehicle and a European version, eating delicious breakfast and dinner, finally eating McDonald's after almost 2 years from being overseas at a remote tour, and getting to enjoy the reason why I married my husband.
