Green and Blue Lakes - Sete Cidades - Azores

The tales talk about a young shepherdess with beautiful green eyes and a young man with blue eyes . They fell in love. It was an impossible love because the two families did not agree.
Then they wept so much that his tears formed the two lakes.
Contam as lendas que uma jovem pastora de olhos verdes e um jovem de olhos azuis se apaixonaram. Era um amor impossível porque as duas familias não concordavam.
Então choraram de tal modo que as suas lágrimas formaram os dois lagos.

Queen Mary 2 in Sydney




The Queen Mary 2 visited Sydney in February 2007.
It berthed at Garden Island (Sydney's Naval base dock) as it was
too large to go the Sydney Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay.
It is a beautiful ship. I would love to be fortunate enough to be a passenger!
