My husband and adult son made their first-ever trip to Sao Miguel this spring. They were warmly welcomed by their extended relatives, as well as by our list friend, Eliseu. My husband is in his mid-50s -- the face of his Porto Formoso cousin was the first face of his late father's family he had ever seen. It was a very emotionally-rewarding trip.

On this subject of traveling to the Azores, have any of you made contact with family over there either in person by visiting or by mail or email? How receptive are they to meet such extended family as us here in the states? -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. Follow the confirmation directions when they arrive.
