Sad sad little blog...

Okay, so I havent been updating this nearly as much as I'd hoped to. You'd think I would have all kinds of time but there always seems to be something more important to do.

J finally took me to Angra today like we'd been talking about since I got here. It was not at all worth the effort. I did see some stores I'd like to go into and I'm sure if I knew more about the place and what all was there, I'd enjoy it more, but my perspective just from the drive and the short amount of walking we did, is that it's not all it's cracked up to be. Still beautiful...and fun.

Angra do Heroísmo

This guy was watching us pretty intently--->

We also went back to Calheta dos Biscoitos where I took pictures of before. With the beautiful blue water. This time we went a different way so that we could go to the little cafe and the area where you're allowed to swim. It's so unique. Not at all what you'd expect when you think about a "swimming area" but in its own way it is really beautiful. I took a couple videos. You can watch them on YouTube if you like. But here are some pictures if you dont have the opportunity to get on Facebook or YouTube.

It's not a huge place but the way the water crashes against those rocks makes you feel pretty small. Who am I kidding? Living on this island makes you feel small. When you look out and see that never ending ocean. Amazing.

Another weekend over. I've been here over 3 weeks already. I finally drove UglyBetty the other day. Did I tell you that? She wasnt as bad as I was afraid she was going to be but that clutch is like an inch from the brake! If my feet were any bigger I'd have major problems.

Jenny babysat Alex a couple times last week. It went pretty well. I'm not sure how much we're going to use her until I start school. Josh is pretty flexible about coming home for extended lunches so I can work out. The biggest issue will be when I have homework that I can't focus on without someone here.

I took a couple pictures of the alley cats. They love my tuna. We've dubbed them Bonnie and Clyde since they're renegade. =0) You can see the nasty dirty plate that the landlord gives them scraps on occasionally.

Here is Bob who really hoped they would play with him the way that Oscar did. Unfortunately, he learned the hard way that they do not wish to playfully smack him and he became a temporary pincushion one afternoon. Now all he wants to do is chase them.

Well, its almost 1030pm and I am beat. Will try to post something tomorrow even if it's short.

Hugs & Kisses,
