Azores Blog

The Azores Blog is my little journal about the Azores Islands. It...

  • lets you know whenever any new Web pages appear on Magical Azores Islands, telling you about a new find or adventure

  • keeps you up-to-date with other news about the Azores (like the latest great whale watching expedition!)

  • points out some past adventures that you might otherwise miss

  • lets you know when I send out the Magical Azores Islands e-zine (in case you don't like to give your e-mail address, or if your ISP tends to over-filter causing you to miss an issue).

To subscribe to my Azores Islands blog (no e-mail necessary), right-click on the orange RSS button (see bottom buttons to the left) and then paste the URL into your RSS reader.

Or click on the Google, My Yahoo! button My MSN button, newsgator, or Bloglnes button if you keep a personalized home page there.

Please enjoy the blog!
