What's wrong with this picture?


















Oh how I miss the beautiful weather at Lajes.  We lived about a block away from this beautiful beach.  While it did get humid on the island, it was usually never above 80 degrees even on the warmest of days.
What doesn't belong in this picture??

















There is an annual bull fight on Praia beach.  We were fortunate enough to be invited out onto someone's boat to watch the show.  Don't worry, American military and their families are prohibited from participating in the bull fights.  The picture below was my favorite part of the entire evening.  Young portugese men would get brave and torment the bull and when it charged towards them, they would dive into the water to get away from the bull.  As you can see, it wasn't an effective defense mechanism.  Last time I checked, bulls didn't melt when their skin was touched by water.
