On the 21st<\/sup> we met with professor Eduardo Marques and his colleagues at the Military Museum of Sao Miguel. While we were there, they taught us about what photo voice was and how it was used to understand photography. This work has to do with giving the lower class a voice. People are given throwaway film cameras and are able to take photos of their lives. We were able to do a workshop with Professor Marques that let us choose a photo to try to interpret from how we are viewing it. I thought this was interesting hearing other people\u2019s interpretations of their photos because some of them were different from my own thoughts of the photos. After our lecture at the Military Museum, we were able to take photos of the guns, cannons, armor and other old military accessories that were there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We then took a tour to Furnas. The first thing I saw was the\ncats that were sitting around the ground that was warm. They were so friendly\nand let us pet and take photos of them. We also saw that people use natural\nthermal heat to cook their foods under the dirt in pots. Then we ate lunch at\nthe restaurant that serves the food that is cooked in the underground pots.\nThere was a lot of food and it was actually really tasty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we left Sao Miguel, we met with Paulo Teves, the president\nof Sao Miguel. We all felt so important sitting at the long table with the red\ntablecloth talking about the government and tourism. He even asked us if there\nis anything that we thought could be changed or improved upon. We really\ncouldn\u2019t think of anything. It was all so perfect. At the end of our meeting\nMr. Teves gave us a nice book and a DVD to take home to show our families and\nget more information about the Azores. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After our meeting was over, we then had a flight to Terceira\nwhere we had lunch in Praia de Victoria with Anna and her two children. We also\nmet Anna\u2019s father who was the original owner of the restaurant we ate at. At\nlunch we got to try different types of foods. I thought that one dish was chicken\nbut in reality it was cow tongue. I was not a fan but at least I can say that I\nhad cow tongue in the Azores. After lunch, we caught another flight to go to\nGraciosa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
