Brimstone Head as seen from the car at 8pm.
The Flat Earth Society heard our prayers, and last night, they kindly admitted us to celebrate our last get-together at Fogo Island on top of the Brimstone Head. A clear blue sky, sparkling wine, a guitar, a telescope and a portable stereo created the perfect framework for the most spectacular two-hour sunset we have ever experienced. We were happy to be joined for our last night by our new friends Linda and Winston Osmond, as well as Elisabet's sons Einar and Jon.
