 After 6 days crossing, we arrived in the port city of Ponta Delgada on Sao Miguel in the Azores Islands |
 We took a car tour around the ..... |
 Island in the mist, fog and rain |
 We don’t know what these mounds are |
 The steam is from the many hot ... |
 springs on the island |
 These are fields of tea plants |
 Older buildings on the island used white and black volcanic ash on exteriors |
 And on street crossings |
 And old churches |
 The US Coast Guard was also in port |
 Maggie and our guide |

 We visited the Hague with the International Court of Justice |
 And a visit to Amsterdam |
 Royal Palace, we think |
 And a drive by rainy tulip fields |
 A visit to Stonehenge was our favorite tour |
 Maggie and our guide leave the visitor’s center |
 Allegedly the stones were moved like this |
 And the ancient builders lived in huts like this |
 Birds eye view |
 Almost at the viewing area |
 It is amazing |

 On the Eurostar train heading to Paris |
 That is a glass door to the bathroom in our hotel room in Paris (it had curtains) |
