Travelin' Bandit in the Azores...

Took a much needed vacation...2 weeks in the Azores Islands! I was going to head for Spain, but the recent airplane crash there scared to doo doo outta me, soI stayed put! The islands are very beautiful (9 of them)...each one very different...I basically lived without running water, but thats another story...PeepingBung sent me a Bandit for the trip, and it sure took a beating...the Traveling Bandit is available to anyone who wants to take her for vacation, just let meknow and I will send her...but she has to be resent to someone else...<br>Dialup beware!<br><br>My villa in Sao Jorge....it was like living in the 1800's, but the view was awsome, weather was perfect...I could easily have stayed there the wholetime...<br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/chickluu/19.jpg" alt="image"><br><br>The view!<br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/chickluu/P1110413.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/chickluu/22.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/chickluu/43.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/chickluu/44.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/chickluu/17.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/chickluu/23.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/chickluu/27.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/chickluu/25.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/chickluu/28.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/chickluu/29.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/chickluu/31.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/chickluu/45.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/chickluu/16.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/chickluu/21.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/chickluu/20.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/chickluu/38.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/chickluu/40.jpg" alt="image"><br><br>This is Terceira...old world cities, great coffees..the butter and cheese to die for, and I am wearing all of it right now <img height="20" src="http://www.ezboard.com/image/posticons/pi_nervous.gif" width="20" alt="image">...<br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/chickluu/01.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/chickluu/04.jpg" alt="image"><br><br>I went into this beautiful church....the nun there took me downstairs to show me that before the church was built, it was a cemetary.

<font color="#0000FF" size="4">Those pictures are beautiful Anita. You're lucky you got to travel to Europe. I would love to go there someday. I haverelatives in England but have never been. My sister's been a couple of times. I love the olden days look.<br><br><br>~Karen</font>

<strong>Looks and sounds like an awesome trip A!<img height="27" src="http://mmb.maverick.to/images/smilies/yahoo.gif" width="42" alt="image"></strong>

Wow lucky girl, that looks like a very relaxing trip. so tell me more about the food, what other kinds did you get to try, is there a lot of the same stuff ashere to eat or is it all different?

<br><br>It's a shame those islands will never be the same again after Anita and her friend Lucifer visited, we should take up a collection for the village folks tohelp them recoup their looses.<br><br><br>Denny

Those are some really nice pix!!!especially the one redline kid likes!!,<br>To bad i allready went on holiday i could have taken it to see the yachts at St-Tropez!!!<br>Karen,if you ever make it to europe,you're allways welcome to stay here!!<br><br>Dean

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Wow awesome views! Looks like a great you had a great vacation Anita....</span><br style="font-weight: bold;"><br style="font-weight: bold;"><br style="font-weight: bold;"><br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">DON</span><br>

Wow looks like good times Anita. And i like your little buddy also. I thought you were taking me with ya?? AWSOME PLACE PICS AND EVERYTHING. Maybe next time.<br><br>Mike

Maybe someone will be inspired to write a song about those human remains...<br><br>How come you left out the part about not bathing? And the diarrhea??? And the vomit???<br><br>Looks like an awesome place to stay a relax...very cool pics and settings...<br><br><blockquote> Thought Scott would like this childrens book....sure he will comment on it..</blockquote>Kind of ironic that an ass is on the cover, isn't it?<img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/happy.gif" alt="image"><br><br><br>I'll reserve the Bandit for vacation on Nov 1st thru the 8th, but I must have it by Oct 31st...lots of time for others to play with it...<br><br><br><br><br><br><img src="http://www.ezboard.com/image/posticons/pi_freak.gif" alt="image"><br>

Wow, what a fabulous vacation, Anita! Thanks for the pics!<br><br>Greg

Nice pics Anita! Thanks for sharing your vacation with us.

What an awesome vacation!<br><br>Sure beat the hell out of Vegas <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif">

awesome pics! thanks for sharing!

hmmm... "human remains sticking out everywear" sounds like a great song title...<br><br>poor Anita... you poor, poor thing... heh heheh heh!

Beautiful place!!! No money there though. Nice place to visit but not live.<br>Thanks for Sharing!!!!!<br><br><br>Dools

I was wondering where you were; I hadn't seen you posting in a bit. Your vacation looks like a trip to paradise! Welcome back.<br><br>Bob Jordan

Hey, the book says Anita and her Burrito. I always thought that was a menu item at Taco Bell, not a little Burro. Or maybe that's what that mystery meatis.<br><br>Those pictures (well, the outdoor ones, though the catacomb stuff doesn't bother me a bit - not like those bones are gonna come to life all of a sudden)are absolutely breathtaking! The beer &amp; coffee one is pretty cool and the bull running loose gave me a giggle. I can imagine what the local drunken fratboys would do if they did that here. <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eek.gif">:

I've always wanted to go to the Azores. Your pics make it look like everything and more of what makes me want to visit them.<br><br>Glad to hear you had a good time...how could you not <img src="http://redlinesonlinemessageboard.yuku.com/domain/bypass/images/rockon.gif" alt="image"><br><br>~Joe<br>
