Gruta do Natal

This first photo is of us in the Algar do Carvão. We have an earlier post with a lot more photos of this cave if you are interested.

Went to the caves... and yes we found one of the more rugged caves. Found out that there are over 60 caves like these throughout the 9 Azorean islands.

This one is named Gruta do Natal or Christmas cave. It is named the Christmas cave because since 1969 they have held a Christmas mass inside the cave and have for every year after that. Pretty cool.

The pictures are mostly of Hannah and Nathanael because Thaddeus was deathly afraid of the caves... didn't help they had some of the scarier music of the movie "The Lord of the Rings" playing in the background. So he was pretty much clinging to my leg or in my arms. The first photo is before we really got into the cave and he got scared.

Yes Nathanael... one more picture. Smile, please?


Hope you enjoyed!
