Azores Terceira Island 1 2019

Fantastic trip. It's sort of like Iceland with the volcanoes and lava rock, kind of like New Zealand with the greenery and eucalyptus trees. And yet, its like British Columbia, with the hanging moss, cedar trees and ferns, and a wee bit like Ireland, with all the stone walls checker boarding the land.

That is a beautiful place. I spent 5 months there in the Navy in 1974. We used to ride our bicycles up to the caves and explore all over. We never saw anyone else up there.in them.

We lived in Praia, on 246A Cruz Street in the mid 70's. My youngest was born there. loved the people and experience. It's a beautiful island.

Grand Mother was from Sao Miguel. I lived on Terceira 5 years as a kid when my Dad was in the USAF. Am visiting Sao Miguel and Terceira this summer with my 15 year old daughter. First time back!

Beautiful! I was born and raised in Terceira. Left when I was 16 and have never been back. Thank you for posting this video, because I was able to see my home again.

Hi! Great video. Lived there in 1969-70. The first longer building I believe was the Portuguese NCO club where my dads friends gave us a going away party! Alcatra, flounder tongue, of course soup first...like a seven course meal! The house you guys were standing in front of in Praia was where we lived the summer of '69. Only house with a lawn. Fell asleep with the window open listening to the surf! Has changed a bit. Higher stone wall, was a lot of rocks at low tide and a small dock. The school bus picked the military kids up right next to it. One day we helped the locals pull in their giant net to the shore and they gave out different fish to everyone. Bulls that they pissed off and let loose on the beach and an all night party afterward. Praia is almost unrecognizable now. Clyde and I climbed up the cliff just past the navy pier and sighted an old WWII mine abt 100 ft. down. The locals were great people. Super friendly. the kids ate the little limpets right off the rocks. I wasn't about to. My older brother spear-fished and gave the locals octopi. 102 knot winds closed down school one winter. Waves crashing over AWOL rock. Flying fish, Ribbon fish, and a really weird big fish hanging at the pier with what looked like human hands. Went through the caves in boy scouts. We hiked there and to the Sulphur pits. Camped almost every weekend by evergreen (some kind of spruce?) woods and an area where old lava flows were full of little holes and mini caves. Took the roughest hikes in my life up and down those lava flows and through super dense brush. Burned the limbs in the old fuselage that was there till billows of white smoke came out. Where that fuselage came from is a good question. I think you can still see it on google maps. Paradise for a sixth and seventh grader. Tons of great memories. My brother Clyde and Frank Buddick found a canon and it was put in the museum in Angra. A "scoot" escudo went a long way back then. Equaled 2.5 cents then. Casa da China was a favorite shop. Soft serve ice cream in a shop by the town square. A Bathyscaphe was there when the Scorpion was lost. Was in the movie theatre when the lunar module touched down. The movie stopped and they announced it and everyone cheered. Dad received presidential commendation medal for his part in the communications end. Great memories.

That's where I was born, that was my beach growing up, the first one and above was a kids school where I was dropped off every morning.

Nice video we love the Azores my wife Maria is from Terceira the weather is ideal although it gets windy as hell in the winter but it never gets real cold I don’t think it ever has got below 50 which that may have changed the way weather is changing and the summer never gets past mid to hi 80s the average temps are ideal (sub tropical) every kind of fruit you can think of .
