Arrival Ponte Delgado

/ youngretireeneedsalife
Bought a potholder to figure out where I am.

Arrived at my final destination which is the island to the immediate right of the potholder. It is the largest island of the group. The airport where we first landed is the island Northwest of my current destination.

Did some exploring of Ponte Del Gado as soon as I arrived. It definitely is a seaport.

What fun even though they were near closing they let me buy some 🍯. Honey tastes different in each country due to the flowers 🌺 and pollinators. Italy is my favorite but we shall see.
Didn’t realize I bought 2 enormous containers. Love to buy the foods of different countries when I visit. Upon return I savor the trip memories as I eat their delicacies.❤️

The Market – it was located inside a parking garage. How wise to place it there.

The Azores is principally an agricultural economy. They provide 30% of the milk products for Portugal. As you drive through the country side dairy cows are found on every inch of the isle. The government is now encouraging and giving subsidies for beef cows as well.

Even in town they are revered.

The driver from the airport raved of the ice cream so stopped on the waterfront for some.

Mucoa

Here’s how they make it..

They pour ice cream liquid batter on a block.
Then swirl it around scraping the liquid batter.
Final step they roll it and place the rolls in a dish then drizzle chocolate over it.
Another view of the port.

To be continued, jet ✈️ lag is sinking in..
