The Açoreans go crazy for trick-or-treating and I escaped the madness just in time.  We wanted to do a night hike in Terra Chã and after hiking for a while, visability was about 5 feet.  We couldn’t find the trailhead so we went back to Terra Chã.  The section of trail we did hike I was able to capture these ghosts: which is actually just Megan and Rick in a creepy doorway.  Back in Terra Cha there was a chestnut festival going on.  Portuguese festivals are wonderful because everything is free.  This one had all you can eat grilled sardines (big ones), wine, and boiled chestnuts.  A portuguese friend is telling me about the tradition of grilled sardines eaten on leaves.

The sardines were wonderful and even better were the boiled chestnuts as you can see here:
