São Miguel, Açores

July 2023

Part two of the São Miguel series, which focuses on the eastern half of the island, with Furnas, Nordeste and Achadina, where my dad is from. It was pretty wild to see the river where the family used to bring corn and such to get it milled, or just see the cows walking down a main road to go get milked, or just how ridiculous every single sight was. Canyons, waterfalls, churches, all of it.

Anyway, again, it was a hell of a week. And I'm hoping to be back soon and have another dinner vaporized in the Furnas hot springs.

Consagração da família a São Miguel

Ó grande Arcanjo São Miguel, príncipe e chefe das legiões angélicas, penetradas do sentimento de vossa grandeza, de vossa bondade e vosso poder, em presença da adorável Santíssima Trindade, da Virgem Maria e toda a corte celeste, eu (nome) e minha família vimos hoje nos consagrar a vós. (ou renovar neste dia a nossa consagração)

Queremos vos honrar e invocar fielmente.

Recebei-nos sob vossa especial proteção e dignai-vos desde então vela sobre os nossos interesses espirituais e temporais.

Conservai entre nós a perfeita união do espírito, dos corações e do amor familiar. Defendei-nos contra o ataque inimigo, preservai-nos de todo mal e particularmente da desgraça de ofender a Deus gravemente.

Que por nossos cuidados, devotados e vigilantes cheguemos todos à felicidade eterna. Dignai-vos, grande São Miguel, reunir todos os membros de nossa família. Amém!

🕊️🌟 TERÇO PODEROSO DE SÃO MIGUEL ARCANJO CONTRA SATANÁS | ORAÇÃO PODEROSÍSSIMA 🌟🕊️ (EDIÇÃO ESPECIAL) [ORAÇÕES MILAGROSAS]

[lingocurio]

After 8 imaginary days on the island of Terceira in the Azores, I'll be make-believe flying to Ponta Delgada on the island of São Miguel on April 6.

The first thing I've found out about Ponta Delgada is that there is a shuttle service from the airport to someplace called Vila Franca do Campo. It costs $13.41 CAD one way.

A quick Wikipedia search tells me that Vila Franca do Campo was the main town of São Miguel until a massive landslide in the mid-16th century that killed 5000 people caused the powers-that-be to rethink the location of the administrative center of the island. They moved it to Ponta Delgada.

A quick look at Google Maps tells me that both Ponta Delgada and Vila Franca do Campo are located on the southern coast of the zucchini-shaped island. Vila Franca do Campo is only about 25km (15 miles) east of Ponta Delgada.

Should I base myself in Ponta Delgada or Vila Franca do Campo?

As usual, it seems that the recommended way to explore the island is to rent a car and follow your own nose. Unfortunately, I don't drive, so I need to look at alternative options.

A perfunctory search reveals the availability of various half- and full-day organized tours. It seems most, if not all, of these tours are based in Ponta Delgada.

Probably my best bet is to base myself in Ponta Delgada and venture out on organized tours, and possibly on my own with a rental bike, from there. I'll do a more thorough search of what there is to see and do in a future post!

São Miguel, Açores, Portugal. This was my first trip to the homeland, where my parents are from (but on opposite ends of the island; they actually met in the U.S., and here I am). It was a hard-working vacation, with lots of stops and trips and the like, but fantastic in a way I didn't expect. I started plotting out how, exactly, I could find €100,000 or so to just buy a house, move there and figure out the whole life-and-career thing later.

Until then, please enjoy some of the sites from the first half of the trip in Ponta Delgada and the western half of the island (Sete Cidades, Ribeira Grande and the like). I'm sure I'll have more in time.
