Ribeira D´Areia

The fiesta we are putting on is taking place in Ribeira D´Areia. So far we have got quite a few pictures of the women making bread and also some videos. We also took some pictures of us going through Velas and the surrounding area in São Jorge. Sorry if most of the pictures are of our Michelle and my mom because my dad is taking most of the pictures. The videos of bread making are really big and I think I will have to compress them before putting them on the internet. We ran out of batteries on our camera today so we didn´t get to take any pictures of Jose Mandalín, Lino, or of the Conhgra (eel, sea-snake, or fish to some). We ended up running into Oliver; Brians cousin in Velas. I am having a hard time remembering a lot of peoples names so please don´t feel bad if I don´t include your name in the blog correctly; just send me an email or something so I can correct it. Here is a little tiny slideshow for everyone to look at. I will be sure to put up the more recent pictures and try to get them all on here but I have been really short on time so far this week.

  1. Hey Andrew, You are doing a terrific job documenting your trip. I love to go to the computer and see if there is any new happening. Please take a picture of Tia Odelta and Tio Elias as well as Lino and anyone else. Have you learned a little more Portuguese? By the way, the Lakers are winning 80-67 and the series is 3-2 Lakers. Go Lakers! We'll be in Gustine on Sunday. Keep the pictures and news a coming! Hope the weather is good for the festa. By the way, I think there is no d in Ribeira da Areia????? Love you guys, Aunt Rosalie PS Please check your gmail account as well as your dad's.
