Sao Miguel - A Part Of Me

I often find myself thinking of the island that I left behind. How I miss Sao Miguel so much. Words can’t describe how I feel about this island. I have such great memories of the green Island. I had my first kiss there and of course my first love. Gosh, I hope my children will be able to visit this precious beautiful island someday. I hope they'll be able to spend at least one summer like I did as a child.

My parents arrived in the USA in the late 60’s for a better life. You know the American Dream. They worked very hard. My father would work 70 hours a week and my mother 60 hours. They did what they had too for their children to have a better life.

I am who I am because of them. I owe a lot to my parents. I would be lost without my family. I count on them a lot.

Sao Miguel is known as "The Green Island,” it is the largest & most populated island of the Azores. Sao Miguel is 1 of the 9 Azorean islands that belong to Portugal. The islands are located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean between the United States of American & Portugal.


Anyways, I am adding some pictures here for you all to see. I love my Sao Miguel “Green Island” and I want to share it with you.
