Leaving São Miguel today. Leaving the familiar behind. For me, the Azores have been the only Portugal I've ever experienced. São Jorge was really (barring one horrible, no good, very bad month in Terceira) the only Portugal I've ever experienced. Leaving for the continent make seem like it's putting this idea of chasing Atlantis to rest, but it's really the opposite. Portugal, continental Portugal, is the undiscovered country I set out to find this summer.
My heart will always be Azorean, but I'm ready for something new.
