    I left Terceira on 01/02/73. At that time the worst things were different . The first shock was that herds share the road so you drive through piles and piles of cow dung. The Catholic women did a penance thing where they crawled to church on their knees and there are places where dung does, indeed cover the whole road. Terrible to see. Perhaps changed? The wind is straight off the Ocean. The wind is often very high. It blew open locked windows and doors, and can be a pain. As a child reading books on sailing adventures I had read of storms with "Sheets of rain". Only in the Azores have I seen this. (Wont change > Nature) The next issue is how small the volume of sand is at the shore. On Terceira there is Praia Beach, perhaps 1.5 miles and in Angra, perhaps 200 feet of sand. The rest is volcanic rock and sharp, black glass like in many ways, and not very hospitable. Some locations such as Bisquoitos overcome this with paving around tidal pools. I have seen a whole dynamic change at Sieta Riberia, and a few other locations on Street view. There is adequate access to water, only to find it is frigid. Thieves. The people are not violent, but thievery was an incredible issue. Lock up. The shocking poverty. At the time the EU was not a thing, and the Azores was a third world to a third world country. I am glad to street view all around and see the amazing amount of cars on Terceira. In '72 the 50,000 people had perhaps 1500 cards and trucks. Even the Portuguese Air Force drove the lorries the Brits brought before WWII, the same trucks you see in 30's or 40's English movies Poverty still.By Treaty the law was that on base workers could be paid a max or $2/day, and maids and personal staff off base $1/day. My allowance as a preteen was more than most family men made at that time. Corruption. You recall her admonishment about taking pics of a rental car? Back then that did not matter. You took them after the scratch (even with a watermark), and everyone was against and resented the Americans anyway, so forget it, you pay. This is the third world, and you will see resentment against foreigners. As a child I was spat upon by an adult. Infrastructure. I am happy to see electricity is prevalent. Not 50 years ago. We lived at the far end of Lajes village, right on the edge of Agualva. We were third from the end of the electric. More than half the island had no electric. My Dad worked in electronics, and so he metered our voltage. 85-95, unless a festival was planned, then the electric shot up to 140v. I think this is probably dated. As to the lizards, they were just fun. Anolie type lizards living in the stones and not a pest just notable. I don't recall cockroaches at all. I DO recall rats and mice. I am sure that it helped that the barn sharing a wall of our detached garage was storing a threshing machine used by hundreds of farmers in harvest time. I recall being in the dark sitting on a wide wall seeing the stars and plenty of rustling around of rats. We got a trap and killed perhaps 20 in our Portugues Kitchen. That is a throwback feature of homes which would take too long to explain. Overall the net is and was still quite positive. Absolutely. I will visit and I am shopping online for a house. I would not mind going back for the long term The corruption and thievery will be the deal killers for me.

    I lived there for 15 months on Teciera Island near Lajes. I loved the people and its festivals. Only disadvantage is a small island not much choice for shopping. Yes the weather can be crappy but I lived northern Greenland , the Middle East and now San Antonio Texas. Great life experience.

    - Mold is the only real problem for me but there is little you can do about it. ... Minor nuisances: - Irresponsible parking. You are supposed to never be in a hurry so don't get mad when someone has parked sideways of a narrow main road. - Stray cats. Lots of them. - Spartan waiting rooms in airports other than Ponta Delgada. But it makes part of the charm. These airports were made before mass tourism was an issue. - Perhaps local diet is not so healthy in the small islands if you are concerned about this point. (And boredom leads many islanders to smoking and drinking). Preventive medicine has a long way to improve here. Mortality rates are worst than in continental Portugal. If you have some kind of handicap or long-term illness only São Miguel, Terceira and Faial may be suitable for you. I usually visit the islands twice a year and these small things are not preventing me of loving the place.

    After listening to the worst things as you say, l feel that you're a very negative person because l lived there for 15 years and there's public transportation anywhere in the island you just need to adjust and l can see you'd never be able to , also the inconveniences you described can and does happen right here in the US. To me l'll take all the bad because the good outweighs the 10 times.

    Great video, know Azores well specially Pico island. In the winter the mountain top, highest mountain from whole Portugal, can be covered with snow, can climb the mountain . Only negative issue I find is healthcare, if you have a certain serious issue, you might need to go to mainland Portugal. Further enjoy the clean air, spectacular views, food (great wine from Pico), watching whales, dolphins and a lot of swimming in the clearest water one has ever seen.

    I was stationed there in the Air Force MANY years ago. It was well known as NOT a favorable place to be stationed at. Not all people didn't like it, there were some who got out of the Air Force, bought land and a house and stayed there. Personally I couldn't STAND the weather there. One minute, the sun is shining, the next minute it's raining HARD and the wind..... OH THE FREAKING WIND!!! It's REALLY hilly, so when it rains and you're walking next to a hill that's a drop off, the wind pushes the rain UP the hill and it rains UP! So now you're getting drenched from ALL directions. No one is going to melt, it's just that it's cold water when it rains and it's MISERABLE!!! Dental services are almost NON-existent there. Mold grows INSIDE your house like CRAZY because the humidity is SOOOO high all the time! The food off base was really good and the scenery was AMAZING when it wasn't raining. Yes, the roads are SOOOOO narrow!!! Lots of cows and other animals all over the place. A lot of their streets are made out of small square rocks, so the roads are very bumpy. No worries about people speeding there! There was a small bar JUST outside the base. We would sit outside and tourists would come by asking for directions. I would tell them to just stay on this road until you come to the railroad tracks, then make a left and you'll see it (whatever they were asking for...). They would say THANKS and take off .... There are NO railroads there, it's a small island! .... AND that road goes all the way around the island. so in a little over an hour, we'd see the SAME tourists fly by..... then again ....
