After watching me hitchhike across the whole island, reading about a truly funny encounter which didn’t seem funny at the time, and not being sure what to make of my observations about tourism on the Azores and elsewhere, you have all been waiting for my full report about Pico.

And I have been working on it. I still am, feverishly even, to use a timely word.

But I wrote the German version first, and now I’ll have to translate more than 6000 words into English for my esteemed international readers. Yeah, it’s going to be one of those long articles that you dread, sorry.

This will take a few more days. But to shorten the wait and especially for my readers working in the medical profession, who all wish they were on a remote island right now, I am going to give you a preview of Pico, using some photos that didn’t make it into the final story.

Now that you have seen so much already, I wonder if anyone will even bother about the article once it comes out.
