Arrived safely today

So it has been a long first day and we are still very tired but it is so beautiful here- just a bit of paradise.  We arrived to the Azores very early this morning from Boston.  Flight arrived here 6:00 am Azore time which was 2:00am NY time- and very little sleep.  Our hotel is lovely- you will see a photo here soon and luckily we were able to get in our room a few hours earlier.  And they upgraded us too so we have a little suite.  
People are very friendly- They speak English a bit which is good as Portuguese is a really different language- not at all like Spanish.  So we are not going to do much today- just hanging out and enjoying both the view and the ocean sounds.  No need for a sound machine here.  Will write more tomorrow when we have done more than try to function.

This is our view from our room- I actually took it with my phone- Ellen
