  • Hi Guys,
    Come along with us on this lazy summer like February day, here on Pico Island Azores. Today we take a road trip to the east side of the island, with a few stops along the way.
    We visited a small market in the village of Piedade, met some nice expats & immigrants that are making a difference in the local island communities. We also bought some things, like hand made soap, gifts and sweets.
    On the way back we stopped in the village of Lajes, here we mostly , relaxed, had a few drinks, met some more expats and simply enjoyed the scenery of the day.
    We hope you enjoyed hanging out with us,
    Love having you with us on our journey.
    Carlos & Laura
    xoxo

    "Retirement planning is very important in our world, funny how in some parts of the world, you need over a million dollars to retire comfortably?"

      "Wow, that's a huge sum. I've been retired for three years now, and I'm only 46, thankfully i met a friend Katherine c boone, she offers excellent investment plans.

      How is that even possible,because the approved retirement age is 65 here in the US

    This is definitely my favorite way to shop. Local artisans selling homemade foods and crafts.

      Shopping at these types of small markets gets you close to the people and the island. Take care!

    OMG you were in my neck of the woods. I was born and raised in Piedade. The salão was named after a local priest Padre Francisco Vieira Soares. The gentleman Mannie Goulart has an excellent construction company there is Piedade. The lady with the bolo levedo is my cousin. Loved this one. Thank you

    Hi there! Amazing to hear myself mentioned on your video, and see our daughter, Jess! Thanks so much! I love watching all your adventures on Pico because it reminds me of places we’ve been when visiting. I’ve often said that perhaps one day we’ll see Jess and we did. We’ll look out for you on our next visit.

    Looking forward to spending time in Terceria and Pico later this year or next year. My family from both sides migrated to the US from the Azores in the early 1920's. I would like to find any relatives which I'm sure I have still there. Thank you for your wonderful and informative videos.

    I just arrived in Sao Miguel, where I have an Airbnb for a month, until March 20. I want to check out Pico and I was wondering if the ferries are running now, or if you have to fly. I’m feeling kind of isolated here because I’m an hour away from Ponta Delgada. I’m really hesitant to drive here because the mountains and narrow roads scare me a lot.

    • @ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552
      @ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Tracey! There are no ferries. the only way is to fly. There should be local bus transportation, it could be a way to get around. Cheers

      Hi Tracey, i'll be there in April and had the same thoughts, but i will be in Pico and would love to rent a car, but driving on these mountainous and narrow roads scare me as well. But fortunately, i can walk to many places as i am staying in Madelena, and its close to the Marina and the ferry to Faial is running. Have a great stay. Can't wait to get there.

    There's no government department for "expats" in Canada or in Portugal. But there is immigration. You may want to reword the racist term "expat".

    • @ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552
      @ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We use the word Expat because it's what most people use, including expat themselves. It has nothing to do with racism, not a bone in my body with that nonsense. Which word would be best to use, in your opinion?
