Farewell Madeira....Time to Move on...Almost...

How can it be?  Our Pilgrimage to Madeira and Celebration of the Mighty Little Ukulele being sent away from Portuguese shores on a voyage to Hawaii...this trip that was just a “wouldn’t it be great, but...” idea last September, is almost over?



Good bye to friends new and old!  (This photo was taken the night before departure on our way to The Putiki Tiki Bar...the next morning at 04:45 we looked, well, different.)



Goodbye to lessons all about the historic instruments that started it all!



Goodbye to Portuguese embroidery done on the doorsteps of little local stores and cafes.



Goodbye to crazy street art and amazing sidewalks.



Goodbye sweet Portuguese dogs who make our hearts yearn for those pups waiting for us at home....so far far away.



Goodbye to “The Jacket”....where will we see you next?  ‘Cause one thing’s for sure....we most likely WILL see each other again!
P.S.  The Jacket now has a “San Juan Island” pin!  That way we’ll be sure to recognize it...  Thank you Joe, Kristen and boys for all the Aloha you brought to this event on an island 600 miles off the coast of Portugal, so far from Hawaii!
