19-28 Oct I had a three day weekend starting the 19th and Rick and I went back to Santa barbara and hiked the entire canyon on a three day backpack.  We have also been doing night hikes on wednesdays.  Last wednesday it was a full moon so we hiked Ramenoes, we hiked without headlamps it was so bright.  Friday Rick and I took three seventh graders on the Lago do Negro hike so they can lead it for their class.  I worked all day saturday.  Saturday night we went caving again in Porto Martins and were both so exhausted we nearly fell asleap crawling through tight spots.  Sunday we hiked Monte Brasil, an extinct volcano barely attached to Angra do Heroismo.  The caldeira rim is scattered with old fort ruins and it offers amazing views of coastal Terceira.   

Saturday night we went into Saõ Mateos and had the best fish on the island, the view is decent too.
