A lot of people (myself included) have never even heard of the Azores. Which was somewhat shocking for me being that they are located right in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and I fly over them every time I head back to Florida.

There are beautiful beaches, friendly people, amazing weather and great surf…as if I needed to go on?
