East Coast meets West Coast: It isn't a pretty sight

So I got some new photos from the East Coast Clan (thanks Aline and Robert) and put them on the flickr group. Then I added a few California photos - just so we wouldn't be forgotten way over here.

New archived photos

Olá primos. I've been scanning some old photos and added them to the Cagarras photos on flickr. Here is the link. Dates are approximate.

If anyone has corrections - you can click on the comments section for any of the photos to give me names or dates.

Happy summer. Send photos!

Saudades Primos/Primas, Aqui tudo bem - a Helena e o Richard lá vão para o Egipto outra vez! Até a gatinha, Zoe! Vou passar muitas saudades deles e também de Santo Amaro este verão. Mais espero a primeira netinha para fim de Junho!

Hi primos - Here is a photo of Zoe, Helena & Richard's cat on the way to Egypt. They arrived this week for Helena's new job. Also - there is Tia Rosa with Felicia and Ross at their baby shower.
Since we won't make it to Pico this year I hope those of you who do send some photos from the Azores for posting here - please!! I'm gonna miss it! Also send me any news to post...??
Send to me or post here as a comment. Muitos abraços, uma quase avózinha.

Azores on Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations

Hi primos e primas - just want to let you know that next Monday the Travel Channel show, "No Reservations" will be in the Azores. They contacted me to use some of the Capelinhos Volcano footage (so they might include a small clip of that).
As we speak, Rafaella is beginning her semester in Paris (best luck and love - send us pictures!) and Felicia & Ross are expecting a special delivery in June! Happy Janeiro, and Happy Inauguration Day!! Abraços e saudades, Marlene

Outra vez...Saudades

Olá primos. Sem palavras, talvez esta imagem fala das saudades que nos sintam olhando para traz..
...Looking back at the amazing summer, once again in Santo Amaro (notice the familiar cloud over SA!! - but we actually had amazing weather this year!)
Helena and I promise to post more regularly here. She has the people photos. Mine are more landscape. And I have some videos for later.
Abraços.

Rafaella's photos

Hey everyone!

It's a little after the fact, I know, but I wanted to put up my pictures from last summer to add to the lovely ones we have access to already. The link is above if you click on the title of this post.

At the very least, it can serve to remind us of what a great time we all had!

I'm loving the blog and I'm so glad we can all keep in touch this way. Hope everyone is doing well!

love,

Rafaella

Hi All,
It's been a couple of years since I've seen most of you. Life has been busy! Here are some pictures of my little baby Julia born July 24th 2007! She can't wait to meet you and take her first swim at the porto in Sto Amaro. We'll be updating the photos as the year goes on...Take care! Susana
