Portuguese Flag    A Little About Me     Canadian Flag
I was born on Flores Island, one of nine islands, in the archipelago known as the Azores Islands, belonging to Portugal.  My family emigrated to Canada when I was a small child. I feel very much Canadian, but my Portuguese heritage, full of traditions, is very much a big part of me. I live and work in Toronto, Ontario.  I have family in California, Nevada, Massachusetts, and the Azores.

Visit my photo album page, for some beautiful country scenery of the land where I was born.

Portuguese Recipes-- I have been told they have great malasadas in Hawaii. We call them  filhozes on Flores.
