islands

The Açores are roughly 1,400 km west of Lisbon, 1,500 km northwest of Morocco, and 1,930 km southeast of Newfoundland, Canada.

There is something a little unsettling to me about living on an island in the middle of the Atlantic.

    I have lived in an island for more than five years, and I have spent one month in Azores years ago... I never found it unsettling. You cannot get bored in São Miguel!

    My islands here.

      Oh, it's not the possibility of boredom (I watched a travel documentary on each of the Azores islands last week that had me desperate to visit) It is the idea of being so far away from a greater land mass.

    I think I might also have a feeling of isolation living in the middle of the Atlantic.
