21 November (wednesday)  Megan, Catherine, Rick and I did a night hike at Sierra do Cume.  It was a full moon and I was able to take some nice long exposures of the landscape.  The rock walls were making good for a tri-pod, not as good for holding your lens-cap which I heard plinko down inside the rocks.  With every rock moved, it plinko’d further into the depths below.  It continued to play hide-and-seek as I took down the rock wall.  Now, getting a mortarless rock wall back together is like trying to stack billiard balls.  At least it was worth it for the photos.

You’d think there’d be some crazy adventure in da mix for Thanksgiving…originally we had planned to go climb Pico Mountain, on Pico island.  Then we decided to buy tickets to Morocco and save our money for that.  So Thanksgiving was pretty low key…some local breakfast…some Indian for lunch…and Catherine and I made a salad and Thai food for dinner…and gelado of course for dinner.  Saturday was when the big adventures started…
