The sunny island of Santa Maria is quiet and days there can be very uneventful. Which is kind of a good thing.
On Friday, the oddity of the day was meeting a guy from Brazil on Praia Formosa, and chatting with him a little bit in English, and a little bit in Russian. We distracted him enough that he missed the oncoming high tide and his bag got thoroughly soaked in sea water.
Quintessential Santa Maria landscape: green pastures, blue ocean and white chimneys.
