"E" Elaine- it does me good to hear stories like that! I am disappointed along with you that you didn't find more info but so excited for what you did get - to walk in the footsteps! What a trek :) Next year I will be making the trip to Sao Miguel with my dad, sisters, brother, 2 uncles, my aunt and 2 cousins. We are just waiting to work out the logistics for everyone. I hope we can figure out where our previous footsteps had been first! Karen
