Ian was feeling better (good thing) and we drove out to the east side of the island. We had a nice coffee by the harbour in Machico and then went north to a little town called St. Jorge. Just on the whim, we stopped where there was a spot to park and followed a restaurant sign to an old farm with thatched buildings. It turned out to be a great restaurant where we had marinated pork chunks -- more than we could eat. There was a german shepherd dog running around on the roof and a cherimoya tree with fruit in the yard.
Returning the rental car -- somehow the mirror got scratched -- not while we were in the car. Expensive mirror! Flight on time and arrived in Ponta Delgada. Much nicer driving here. We arrived nicely. Almost felt like coming home.
