Also in summer, the roads and pastures are lined in hydrangeas. Janet Laytham

We went the first week of August this year, and while it was more overcast than I thought it would be, the humidity does not compare to the Eastern US, at least it's not as humid as DC, in the summer, so I was pleasantly surprised. It was also cooler than DC. I just wanted to note that, for some, summer might be the perfect time; don't be afraid to go, then. -Trevor Costa -----Original Message----- From: Linda Norton <patli...@verizon.net> To: azores@googlegroups.com Sent: Tue, Sep 8, 2009 2:52 pm Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Did you visit the Azores in 2009? The summers can be very humid, May and August have big feasts besides the holidays. I would think fall and spring would be a good time to go with comfortable weather.

Good luck finding a week there is not some kind of festa in the villages of the Azores. Even when I went in Feb./Mar., 2003, there were some festivals. Summer is worse; however, it is always party time there. One thing about going in the winter time, I do not like the heat and when I checked the temps. they were similar to those where I live. The temperature was not cold, the rain was sometimes very strong and pushed by the wind. The problem I had was that there is no central heat. Even though it is not cold outside, the houses and rooms had no heat, tile floors & brick, rock or concrete walls. In the houses, there was heat from the brick stove in the kitchen. That did not heat the other rooms and once the fire died, it did not even heat the kitchen. It never heated up; there were piles of blankets on the bed that made turning over an experience I had never had. I wore a knitted hat, gloves and sox to bed and still could not get warm. One day in Pria da Vitoria on the Island of Terceira, I thought the wind and rais was going to blow me into the ocean when I visited the museum that was near the ocean.
