I decided that today I would just go ashore in Funchal Madeira without a plan, map or anything…. except a camera. Last year I got a good look at this beautiful island. I thought checking out the town would be a great idea…. One of the first places I came to was the market. Here they were selling fish, fruits, vegetables, flowers, etc. Pretty cool place. I then ran into some folks that were looking for the cable cars to the top of the mountain and that seemed like a good idea. The views of the city and harbor from the cable car was fabulous…. Next, I walked down to the far side od the city and checked out the Forte De Sao Tiago which goes back to 1614. It was really magnificent! I then walked back down the coast toward the port. It was really amazing weather so I decided that the rest of the day should be spent poolside…. What a day!

Beautiful photos again...can't wait to see you next week. I know you will be very envious of my tan.
Your loving seester,
Wow Jeff - the buildings look alive! I love the brightness of this place - makes me want to sit at a cafe outside with a glass of wine and watch the world go by.
So beautiful these photos - you have such a gift and I am sad to know the trip is coming to an end in one respect because they will not continue...but then again, I get to see my mom and dad - nice trade!
