stop 1: Horta, Azores, Faial islands-Portugal. islands in the middle of the Atlantic. I went diving, saw a Discovery Channel sized grouper. A great stop all in all. Puked all the way there, even cried, but it was worth it.
stop 2: Dublin, Ireland. Mom ad Dad were there, Fun Fun! Big city, nice people, good accents.
stop 3: Aviero, Portugal. Not sure why we are here. Looking forward to Corsica, leaving tomorrow. We are docked in the industrial area and it is a 20 dollar cab ride to town. I did get to the big market today to provision, and that was good. I luckily found an English speaking guy to translate and got all the local fruits amd veggies we can eat....which leads me to the reason I am here...
Yes, yes indeed, these kids do take the fun out if cooking. However, my baking skills are improving! Bread Bread Bread...everyday. I will never have to buy a loaf again as long as I live, I can crank them out like nobody`s business. I thought you all might enjoy a peek into what I have been feeding the masses. I have been keeping track of everything I make, so here is a 10 day sample:
