And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Another "edge of the world" spot. Imagine living there!
Not really an "edge of the woecha da Relva on São Miguel Island in the Azores, Portugal. https://maps.app.goo.gl/7JGsRQyQNyVBA3kk8 37.742498, -25.171402
Ya, that constant wave crashing would drive me nuts after an while, not to mention the tsunami nightmares!

Like most constant noises, a person normally gets used to them and pays little or no attention to them... unless they stop abruptly.
DeleteI live about 100’ from the waves and at an elevation of 8’. Humans tune out background noise. Tsunamis not so much. You are correct in that regard.
DeleteOne of the fajãs of São Jorge Islands in the Azores.
ReplyDeleteTook a Google map tour of the island but couldn’t pinpoint an exact location. Mighty impressed with the surf breaks on the north side however.
DeleteNorth side surf... like Oahu.

ReplyDeleteNo roads and no pier. So how do supplies get in or goods out?
ReplyDeleteI was told that there is a huge shopping center just out of view on the right.
