August 2006: Mom came to visit again, this time in the summer! |
||
 |
Mom took us to dinner in Angra, and while we were there she decided to try some modeling. Here she is turning on the charm for the boats in Angra harbor. Stay away from the sailors, Mom! | |
| There's not much to do here on the island, so Verrucka and I tried to entertain her with some tricks in the kitchen. She was not very impressed. |  |
|
|
|
We wanted to make sure Mom knew exactly where she was, so we found a great map and pointed it out. Tanya met a really nice lady there, but she didn't talk much for some reason. | |
| Mom heard this was a volcanic island. Always the concerned parent, she donned a hardhat and explored the volcanic underground, making sure everything was safe and stable. |  |
|
 |
We heard you could get to the center of the earth this way. It may be possible, but it takes a long time, and we didn't bring enough sandwiches, so we turned around. | |
| Nothing tops off a good day of spelunking like dinner at an Italian restaurant. We actually went swimming out there before dinner. There's no pictures of that. Do you think I want to get killed? |  |
|
 |
Okay, what the heck. This one is just too good not to show. You have to be careful where you stand at the beach around here. |
|
|
Mom vowed that she would be ready the next time one of those sneaky waves came by. Tanya, being an expert snorkeler, offered her some lessons. |

That's goat rock back there. It's called that because supposedly the farmers take their goats out there and let them graze all summer. It looks like that boat is about to slam into the wall, doesn't it? That would've been funny. |
|
|
Yes, I am always a hit with the ladies. Another successful Azores vacation for Mom! Thanks for coming to visit! |
