Thank you for watching, we appreciate it! Saude!
Good jod Carlos on getting the BBQ started , loved the video, always great to get together with family and friends and enjoy the good weather especially on the islands 🏝 where everything is so lush and green.. that Quinta is so beautiful loved seeing all the chickens, rosters and all the fruit trees, say hi to Laura for me.. Have a great weekend guys!
Thank you Natalia, love smelling the wood fire. Glad you enjoyed it. Take care!
Beautiful park! Good job starting the grill. We were waiting to see all the wonderful food at the table. My sister was curious to see what side dishes were served, me too. Thank you for sharing your family moments.
Glad you enjoyed the video, a appreciate it. Side dishes were a couple of salads, including potato salad and a few other things. We had taken footage, but it was erase by accident! Take Care Debbie!
My favorite videos are those with the quintas, chickens, rabbits, goats, and the gardens. I wonder if anyone has established organic garden on Pico. The footage of that garden with the ocean view is breathtaking. It made may day! Thank you.
So glad you enjoyed it, quintas are beautiful. We will do more at some point. Take good care!
Enjoyed the video. Sorry I missed the Island when I went to Terceira Island several weeks back now. Seems almost like yesterday! Forwarding to a friend that climbed the mountain a couple of weeks ago. Next trip for sure!
Make sure you visit on the next trip. Time fly's by so quick, especially here! Cheers!
Lovely footage of the Park and Flavia's Quinta. The term is a little confusing.
I thought Quinta translated to Thursday🤔 My late father was from Lajes do Pico. He often tended to the family's Pomar which I believe tranlates to Orchard.
What a blessing it must be to have one in your back yard😳😊 The synergy with the chickens walking around feeding and fertilizing is a stroke of Genius!🤣
It is awesome Francisco, love the simplicity of it all. My late father was also born in Lakes, small world after all. Portuguese language has a lot of double meaning words. Glad you enjoyed it! Take care!
Soon we will be there. We accepted an offer on our house here in the US, our visas have arrived and everything is a green light and full speed ahead for our move on the 30th of this month. We look forward to house hunting on Pico and maybe meeting you both at some point! Cheers! ♥️🥂☺️
That is great for you guys. I have a feeling we might meet at some point. Let me know if you need a Real estate agent. Cheers
@@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552 We currently have no real estate agent and yes, I would very much appreciate your help in putting us in touch with one. Once we get to our rental house in Furnas on the 2nd we'll take a few days to take a breather to make sure we're oriented and then hit the pavement shopping for houses, which will include flying over to Pico for a few days for this purpose. jetsettr20@gmail.com I want to get the full vibe before deciding. Will you guys be renting your house out at all this summer? Would love to have a home base while we're there 🏠 shopping. 🙂
You are so right Carlos, we met so much kindness and welcoming on this islands. So good to hear that it still are like that. Thanks for a trip in the park who looks the same after 15 years, ok, maybe the pine trees are a bit bigger 🤔 Good to see it again. Take care.
This park is pretty much unchanged, it's the way it should be. Come and visit soon! Cheers!
@@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552 Yes, we love to see it again sooooooon... All to long since we did. Hoping for a trip in October or November, would be nice to get some vacation when the bee year is over and hopefully celebrate the end of Corona. Let’s see what life brings. Stay safe.
Beautiful São João and beautiful park.....saudades for sure 🥰
It is an awesome park. Take care lucy!
Brazilian culture , Churrasco .
Churrasco, can't beat it! Cheers!
Who said that?
Would May or June be the best time to visit Pico? If one doesn’t do well in humid heat.
May, June, Sep, Oct are very good months if you want to avoid the heart of summer. Please keep in mind that summer months rarely get over 28 degrees celsius. I hope this helps! Cheers
Awesome place! Live it!
Totally awesome! Take care Marta!
Great video guys those parks are incredible in the azores it brings families together. Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience.
Every island has them, they are part of the Azorean lifestyle! Take good care Roy!
Just watched your video in Boston airport as we wait our flight to go to Pico tonight hope to see you soon
Holy Pico Batman, that is awesome. Maybe we will bump into each other in the village. Have a safe flight! Cheers!
Great job on getting the BBQ started Carlos tell Laura don't worry the hair on your arms will grow back!😂🍺
Lol. It's worth losing a few hairs! Take care Ruben!
Obrigado pelo video , gostei , ta ?
Muito obrigado Rik! Saude!
Hi ! Laura and Carlos ; What would be interesting for me , who has never lived on an island. to find out about the wind and breeze. I would assume it always comes from the sea?
Also I read on a number of occasions that it gets humid everywhere in zpirtugsl and the walls and foundations get really wet, condensation builds up ( is that mostly in winter months ?) Hie do you desk with the moisture build up and the effects of so much moisture. ( mold , structural issues,) cheers !
Hi Gail! Wind also comes from the mountain, especially on Pico. Yes, in the winter it gets humid. It's felt more in the older homes, new builds are better insulated . Either way, these days you can have various options to help with the humidity; wood stoves, 2 in 1 heat and ac units, upgrade insulation, better building materials etc. I hope this helps! Cheers!
@@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552 yes- i feel better now after you wrote that- I assume the contractors know how to deal with this issue when renovating !!?.After watching I can see hat you have really good crafts/tradesmen on Pico. I like floor heat and wood stoves . Do you think that Pico has enough sun to heat water on the roof in a solar water heater ? You seem to have some geo thermal resources as well.
@@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552 Here in New Mexico building materials are through the roof (😉) how much more percent wise would you say have building materials increased since the pandemic ?
@@gailalbers1430 A few have increased from what we've heard, like some wood. We have to keep in mind that covid hasn't helped. Cheers
I saw the pines and thought "Ya, I could do this!" (I'm Canadian).
Greetings!
I hope that you are well.
As a travel suggestion if by any chance you decide one day to visit S.
Michael Island / Azores again you might want to see this wonder of
modern Portuguese architecture called Casa do passaro / Bird house,
created by Bernardo Rodrigues the same is a masterpiece of modern
design which is very inspiring, and not to be missed by modern
architecture lovers.
Stay healthy and safe!
We would love to see it, maybe do a bit of video on it. Thanks for sharing Fernando! Saude!
Love that park, my first trip to Pico we had a lovely picnic there. Thank you for sharing your journey, can't wait to be back.
Pico is waiting for you! Saude!
Azoriano pela eternidade
Fantastico!
I have been to that park - it’s lovely !
Awesome! A very cool place! Cheers!
My parents are from Pico and I also live in Oakville!! My mom left today to her beautiful pico island and our family home!! I wish I was there ....são Roque!! Ide stay there...Canada is a mess!!
What a small world, Oakville and Pico. Maybe we will bump into her! Take care Paula!
We have BBQ there many times I’m from Terra do Pao
Can't beat the wood burning cooked food! Saude!
Hello guys! I watch your videos from the begining. Maybe it would be great to do video, where you can speak about differences for every single island of azores. Like what are pros and cons for every single island, according living for expats. Or even travel to them - that could be another following videos :). What do you think about this idea? Thanks !
Funny you would suggest that, we re working on a Tourism video that would do that! Stay tuned! Take good care!
Great park been there a few times keep the videos going enjoy watching them...
Thank you, very nice Park! Cheers!
Absolutely beautiful enjoy.
Thank you Natalia, appreciate it! Saude!
What's not to love about a big volcano in the ocean surrounded by black lava rock houses, where you can swim with 26 cetacean species in the sea, before finishing with some wine and local food with nice Azorean locals.
Very well put Toad, so true! Saude!
Very cool bbq pit! I loved the beautiful park. Will have to check it out the next time we visit Pico (my Avô’s birth place).
It is worth visiting this place, you will love it! Take care Sandra!
Thank you for your reply Carlos. My partner and I are planning to visit late Summer-early Fall. We are hoping to find a suitable property for investment/retirement. Providing you are on Pico, we were wondering if you might have the time to help us with our search? We will also need to arrange short term rental. Thank you.
That is a great time to visit! We can always refer you to a real estate expert, that is the best way. We know a few rental places, can help when ready! Take care!
Nice BBQ with family!
Carlos is working hard to keep that fire going lol and filming galinhas and drinking medronho😁😁😁
Saúde!!!
All in a Pico's day of work! Take care! Saude!
A festa de são João importa na cultura portuguesa
Verdade! Saude!
Excellent guys! What a great setting for a BBQ!! And of course the food looked amazing!! Thank you for taking us along to your family's place and showing us the quinta!! Saude!! Lived it! 🤗😊🐈⬛🐕
You were sitting next to me. Hope to see on Pico at some point. Take care Susie! Saude!
Carlos quando vier traga queijos de São João ,custumava a ser. Bons ,,ym ym. 🇨🇦🙏🏻🙏🏻💒💒📿📿
Is charcoal easily obtained on Pico Island? That's a really need grill, cooking device. Beautiful place. Azorean BBQ!
It is and you can typically buy it at any of the grocery stores.
A lot of people use local wood, but charcoal is also available. Tak ecare!
I love that park. Love seeing the deer. have you found Baleia Gin? Made in Azores. Just came out. Need to try it next time I am on the islands. whale tail on the bottle. Kinda looks like a round patron bottle. Squat. Glad you are having a great time and are able to share your experiences. i have eaten at that park, but we didn't cook there.
Awesome park Luis! I just a post on Facebook, will have to try it. We will let you know how it is, maybe we will vlog it! Saude!
Never been in this area in Pico , Acores.
Where is this area at ??
This is a park located in the village of Sao Joao, 10 minutes from Lajes! Take care Elizabeth!
Gorgeous colors from my beloved São João. Thanks for sharing, guys.
We thought of you when we filmed it, nice area! Take care Luis!
@@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552 thank you so much. Very considerate of you 😊
No my friend. That Dragon trees are endemic of Macaronésia islands. Azores, Madeira, Canary and Cape Green!
It’s a beautiful park! The food looked delicious 😋
The visuals speak for themselves. Always a peaceful time at this park! Saude!
Wow / You guys are on fire ♥️🔥🔥🔥
I love all the great videos !!! Thanks for your generosity.
Literally on fire, almost! lol. It was a wonderful picnic! Take care Gail!
I can confirm that the people of Pico are incredibly welcoming to visitors. Yes, be prepared to be invited to cookouts :)
It's hard to say no sometimes! I guess you will never go hungry on Pico Island. Take care Brian!
Looking forward to seeing Laura's quinta back in your place when it's completed ... 😉
Me too!! lol...It will take a bit of time, we will get there! Cheers!
I’m surprised at the number of trees in the island … Terceira island is similar in size, but definitely less trees according to my observations. Trees are a major contributor to the island’s beauty. I guess the rule might be .. the higher the population ( more BBQs) the less trees.
Pico island is the 2nd largest island, but only has 15000 population...this is pretty low. We have lots of trees, rocks an more. Terceira has cut a lot of trees to make farms etc Take care!
Just beautiful ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍 l
I've been in that park, beautiful!
Very beautiful! Take care Maria!
Hello great video been to this park lots of times. I sure miss Pico. Just curious why Carlos does not speak some Portuguese in the videos it would be nice did those that do not understand much English. I know you have mostly English subscribers. Great job we always look forward to the videos 🇵🇹
Thank you so much Anna, very nice park. I will try to speak a bit more, it's not very strong at the moment. Appreciate you taking the time! Saude!
Carlos I am sure your Portuguese is fine
@@annabettencourt9531 Thanks Anna, will try more in future videos! Saude!
Love it! In South Africa, we call a barbeque a "braai" (br-eye). It's an Afrikaans word (the Afrikaans language has Dutch origins, it stems from the Dutch settlers in the mid 1600's). And, the more Afrikaans you are, the more you roll your R's. So, a pucker Afrikaaner would say brrrrraai :-) Anyway, enough about SA... I loved the super ornamental trees in the quinta. Thanks for allowing me to live through your eyes for a while. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks for sharing Alex, we have a few SA friends. We also watch OK Portugal vlog, he does braai's often! Take good care!
@@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552 He's from Cape Town. It's a seperate enclave, or so they'd like to believe :-) Truthfully, CT almost is like a different world. Have a great one guys.
@@alexfladung South Africa is a very interesting place. Enjoy as well Alex! Saude!
Medronho is strong... 50% álcool. Crazy.
Loco da cabeca! Saude!
@@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552 I tried to share a link to a song recorded in the Azores by a Portuguese band, but the comment disappeared. The music is Madredeus - Ao Longe o Mar. Listen to the music in UA-cam and go 'loco da cabeça!'
another lady day?!...lol
Yes! You have to have them, once in a while. Saude Carlos!
