#11 Sunday morning in Ribeira Grande....


The start of the old mountain road up to Corda and then down to Porto Novo – the Tourist Road, if you wish.  At left, is the one and only asphalt road to Xoxo.  

The newer, larger apartments have several large water tanks on their roof – has to be a really strong roof for all that extra load.  I have never seen this anywhere else....

Fairly cool at night, but a rapid rise as soon as the sun comes up over the mountains.  With the humidity relatively high, it feels quite warm.  Important to get out by about 8:30, while there is still much shade from surrounding mountains.


I get my take out pizza here at Bellcantoo, about once a week. 


This is the main drag, normally crammed with taxi-mini-vans and pickups, but never on a Sunday.
