Our second day in the Azores was spent in the eastern part of the island.  We started by driving to Nordeste, the wildest and most remote area in São Miguel.  It reminded me of Jurassic Park!  It was so lush and green - I kept waiting for a velociraptor to come out of the foliage!  We stopped at two viewpoints, Miradouro da Ponta do Sossego and Miradouro da Ponta da Madrugada.  The views were so beautiful and the people here keep everything so manicured.  There was always a gardener trimming bushes, raking leaves, or sweeping up debris along the roads and at the viewpoints.
