well finally some good news, as you see we have
some photos the above is a sunset, we have a view
like this every night.




the next two above are from the island of madeira.
a beautiful island where they are famous for their
maderia wine.  we took an island tour, the roads are very
small and the bus was extremely large.
but I wasn't driving so we arrived back safely.


one of the many flowers on the island.
