@@JordanLima-z9b Berry berry punny, Young toad!

@JordanLima-z9b Thanks, Jordan. Maybe I'll do a voice-over role in Bruce Almighty The Sequel. :)

@ReyMercedCUL Thanks for the encouragement Rey, much appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi Ruhul, thank you very much for your thoughtful suggestions. I am very much a rookie at this and learning as I go. I know that I have much to improve and I will definitely take your suggestions into account going forward. Thanks again for your very constructive critique of the video. Thanks, Kevin

@@CoozeAdventures If you need any help, I will help you

Thank you very much for that offer. BTW, what is the name of your channel on YT? I followed your link above, but it is empty!

Thank you! Cheers!

I found out after asking many people that most don't know. Nobody that I asked knew about what the festa was celebrating. For more information on the story of the festa, the why of the festa, have a look at the long form video, E009 Festa At Santa Barbara.

I had never heard of the concept of body surfing before, so I took to the second largest search engine in the world, CZcams. Very intriguing. You must be a very strong swimmer to do this!

I wasn't that great at it but it was fun!

I'm not sure if I understand the point of your comment. Did I say something in the video suggesting that corn originated in the Azores? Please let me know. :)

9:50 ships arrived with wheat and corn CORN AND THE AZORES didnt exist in 14th century EUROPE@@CoozeAdventures

Well, it appears that you may be correct. I was reading this information from a document that I found on www.hynesdes.org, apparently hosted by a group of Portuguese, I believe, residing in California. I did not fact check their information, but rather, assumed that they knew what they were talking about. I could not find collaborating evidence of their story, and did not think it necessary to dive deeper than that. Was the ship bringing corn to Isabella's people? I don't know. It was being presented as a miracle which served as the basis for her sainthood, so who is to say? I will say this. It would not be the most fantastic of miracles claimed as fact to support some other venerated figures into sainthood. From a natural perspective, one could potentially deny the basis for most if not all who have been elevated as saint. After all, we are speaking of the supernatural, which by definition, cannot be explained in a natural sense.

One of my favourites subjects in the azores when i left more than 50 years ago@@CoozeAdventures

Where did you live in the Azores, and what was your favorite subject?

Thank you.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you very much!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks Zach.

Well, I can see that Jamaicans have a good sense of humor also.

Hi John, For the most part, my memories of Sao Miguel are very positive. You could say that the positive experiences have far overshadowed that bad one. We continue to go there whenever we can and enjoy the beauty of the place whenever occasion arises. You are right, the accident was very unfortunate but it has become a forgotten detail of our distant past. We both fully recovered, so you could say that this is the most important consideration.

Hi Sergio, I'm guessing 'quebra molas' is the proper name for the speedbumps. But have you hear of the nickname that my friend suggested? Policia detado?

Sergio, I talked to my brother-in-law and he helped me understand quebra molas. I now understand that you are adding to the speedbump humor. I think this nickname is for the drivers who refuse to slow down for the speedbumps, and are willing to break the suspension in their cars. :) quebra molas = suspension breakers, correct?

no i haven't@@CoozeAdventures

Spelling Correction: Policia deitado, confirmed by another friend of mine who is from Aveiro, mainland Portugal. Maybe that's the nickname they use on the continent.

Many thanks!

Thank you so much for such a thorough review. Very much appreciated. Although I strive to do the best job I can, I also realize that I am still early in the learning process of creating videos, so there is much more for me to learn still. Thank you for your confidence, and I hope I do not disappoint in videos to come.

You are off to a very good start Kevin.

It’s a really good video. For a guy who’s never been to Portugal, your videos give a good idea of how’s the weather and people is the city. I’m sure this video will help other viewers decide if they wanna visit Portugal or not.

Portugal is very diverse, especially between the islands and continental Portugal. There is beauty in the land and the people wherever you look. My biggest hope is that I have captured that beauty in my videos sufficiently such that they will help you make a good decision to visit and explore the place yourself one day. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Glad you enjoyed it

You should! We hope to be back there soon also.

Thank you Jerdon.

Glad you liked it!

Thank you.

Yes they are!

Is this the beach that you visited most frequently growing up on this island, Lucy? I'm thinking it probably is since it's only about a 30 minute walk from your house.
