San Juaninhos em Santa Maria!

I'm Great annual festival, not as big & crazy as in Terceira. But not bad, either!

Peeking out of my cousin's house on En Cima de Roche, I saw everyone making preparations in his front yard/a public square.


After they had set up a million picnic tables, they began serving some food. Favas & figado (liver)



Then came the band & the group dances, taking over the street.




And then there was food.
And wine.
And more music.

These religious festivals actually encourage you to celebrate life. Not like the Anerican Roman Catholic tradition I am used to. These saints throw the best parties!!





At the end of the night, we were still standing!!
