I am not living on S. Miguel or in Portugal, but in the Netherlands. I left Portugal very young, 18 years old, alone, living my family behind, my country and my friends. A choice I had to make, to achieve a better live.
All my family comes from the Azores, S. MigueI. I always remember as a child, my parents homesickness talks about they're home land. They had left the Azores to the mainland, Lisbon where I was born in 1955, and they never went back to the Azores! 18 years ago I have made my first visit to the land of my parents and please believe-me, it was a wonderful feeling during my first steps on the island. I felt home and yet never had been there before! A year later me and my dutch wife decided to by our little place, planted at the sea. Every time we can, we spend some time there, the time left, we like to share it with people by renting it, with everyone who wants to enjoy the Azores.
So unfortunately I believe I will not be there to meet you! I will get in touch by phone just after your arrival and again a few days later to make sure you will have everything to your liking.
