Since I last wrote to you I have been quite active on some new ideas for www.magical-azores-islands.com. Based on emails and social media feedback that I receive it seems that many people just can't get enough of the Azores, just like me. So today I am writing to you about more ways to get information on this beautiful archipelago. But first, a picture courtesy of Ricardo Marques:

You will find more like this in the links below.

Over the coming months I will be updating many pages on the website and using a new gallery feature. New pictures added to the site will be a larger size and or higher quality. And the gallery will allow you to click the picture and go through the page's gallery all at once. To see what I mean, please visit this updated page: The Azores Islands. Any fan of the islands should enjoy the photos on this page.

Something else you will notice on this page is links to the Facebook fan page www.facebook.com/magical.azores.islands and the Twitter account @MagicalAzores.

You will find many quick notes and picture updates if you follow these social media sites. And I have also started developing a Pinterest presence with 15 boards to date: pinterest.com/magicalazores. The website will always be the primary focus, but I find the social media to be useful as an additional way to share and connect.
