Sal and Calheta

Back to Sal, but this time we got our usual hotel. So grateful for a good night's sleep. :)


Lots of tourists in Santa Maria.


A group of African men playing drums. They paint their whole body with this black, black oil. It's to celebrate their Africanism. The tourists love it, until they try to get a picture with one of the men, and he puts his arm around their shoulder and their clothes end up greasy black. LOL


Lovely evening view of the beach in Santa Maria.



We love taking pictures of the missionaries when we see them on the street. This is in Calheta.


Animals have the right of way on the roads and streets.




After the crops dry up, the dry stalks and grass are collected to feed the animals. It's pretty cool, because gradually, all the dry grass and weeds and cornstalks, etc. are cleaned up and the land is ready for the next planting season.


The low valley areas of Santiago Island are the agricultural areas of the country. They are always green, even when the rest of the island is brown and dry. Thank goodness for these farms.


An awesome tunnel outside of Pedra Badejo.


Notice all the layers of mountains. It is so much more beautiful than you can tell from the photo.
