Union Six Nations tournament? 11 February 2015 Image copyright Getty Images Check
out this guide to find out all you need to know about the Six Nations. Rugby Union
Six Nations tournament The Six Nations is a rugby union tournament played every
year between the top countries in Europe. The six countries who take part are
England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France and Italy. For the first 90 years of
the championships there were only five countries involved, but Italy were invited
to take part in 2000. Rugby Union Rugby Union is played by teams of 15 players,
with each team made up of eight forwards and seven backs. Even at the top level
it used to be amateur; that is, played for fun by people who had other jobs too,
but now the top players are all professionals. The biggest competition in Union
is the World Cup, played every four years, but the most famous one in this country
is the Six Nations championship. The Grand Slam If a team wins all five of its
matches it is called a Grand Slam, but to win a Grand Slam is very hard. England
won a Grand Slam in 2003, but only after losing their final match in the three
seasons before. The Triple Crown The Triple Crown is a special prize that only
the four home unions are able to win. Image copyright PA Image caption A team
can only win the triple crown if they beat all three of the other home unions
Rugby facts The sport gets its name from the place where it was invented, Rugby
School in Warwickshire, England. In 1816 a pupil called William Webb Ellis got
a bit bored during a match of football and decided that picking up the ball would
make things more interesting. Although the game has come a long way since, even
splitting into two codes; Rugby Union and Rugby League, that's where it started.
One of the most important rules of the sport is that the ball can only be passed
backwards.
- 'Baked Artichoke Recipe Baked Artichoke Recipe written by Heather Restrepo So
there are a variety of types when it comes to artichokes (Red-Babyanzio, Big-heart,
Siena, Mercury, Omaha, Fiesole, Chianti, etc.) But perhaps the most common is
the Classic Green Globe artichoke. This is probably the type of artichoke you
will find at your local grocer. Having moved to Hawaii as a teen, that is when
I was first introduced to this intimidating looking veggie. I would never have
predicted that I could ever encompass the foodie-love-affair that I now have with
them! The Classic Green Globe artichoke is by far my favorite because of its’
buttery-tasting heart and bottom. There is also a good amount of meat within the
petals – SCORE if you ask me! Many people enjoy perfectly grilled, baked, or steamed
artichokes at fancy restaurants, which are usually served with a garlic aioli
type of sauce (find my aioli recipe here ). Nonetheless, making them at home
is not as scary as you might think! I find that steaming artichokes gives them
a bitter taste compared to baking, plus popping them in the oven is so much easier
than messing with a steamer! So, here is my go-to recipe for BAKED artichokes:
INGREDIENTS: 2 tbsp. Grass-fed Butter (un-salted) 1 tsp. Garlic Powder *NOTE:
You will need a baking dish with a lid/cover. To start – Preheat the oven to 425
degrees. Give the artichoke a good rinse in cold water, and use a kitchen brush
to lightly scrub the outside. Then cut about a half-inch from the stem and discard
the bottom piece. I also cut about a half-inch from the very top, just to open
it up and allow the seasoning to get inside for cooking. *OPTIONAL: Some people
like to trim the tops of the leaves to get rid of the thorns, but I find that
they become soft during cooking so I don’t bother. Then, carefully cut the artichoke
vertically in half. Line a baking dish with parchment paper and place the halves
on top. Then lightly coat both pieces with a halved lemon. Take the other half
of the lemon and squeeze along the inside of the artichoke, as well as between
the leaves. Then sprinkle the sea salt and garlic powder all-over both sides and
a bit between the leaves. Next, lightly drizzle your oil all over the artichoke
pieces (in between the leaves also). Then place a tbsp. of grass-fed butter in
each of the heart pockets. Cover the baking dish with lid, and place in to the
oven. Allow to cook until sizzling., usually about 1 hour. (Ovens will vary,
so check often after 30-40 minutes of cooking) After cooking, allow to cool, remove the
choke with a spoon (the hairy inside part), and then enjoy the meat on petals,
and heart/bottom! x. Heather'

- 'Brighton Rock Maximize this page Introduction This study guide is intended for
students preparing for exams at GCE Advanced (A2) level and Advanced Supplementary
(AS) level. But it is suitable for university students and the general reader
who is interested in Brighton Rock. Please use the hyperlinks in the table above
to navigate this page. If you have any comments or suggestions to make about this
page, please e-mail me by clicking on this link. The purpose of this study guide
is to help you find your way around the text, and to introduce subjects which
may be set by examiners. It is not a substitute for close study of the novel.
Ideas presented here need to be supported by textual reference (either summary
of narrative detail or brief direct quotation, as appropriate; do not quote at
length: you gain no credit for this in an "open book" exam, the point of the reference
will not be clear, and you are wasting time!). Back to top It is assumed by the
examiners that literature is a humane subject; that is, that books set for study
explore and interpret values and attitudes in the real world, although they must
also be judged in their own right as imaginative works depicting an alternative
reality or alternative view of the world. Broadly speaking, students are asked
to examine works in terms of their content (what they are about) and the author''s
technique (how they are composed). While examiners hope that students will enjoy
studying these things, they recognize that this enjoyment will rarely be simple
or immediate in the case of demanding texts. Students would do well to develop
maturity as readers, to discover the historical and cultural diversity of western
literature, with some of its history; to recognize different literary forms, genres
and conventions. Personal and independent judgements are encouraged, but should
be made against a background of familiarity with established or current attitudes.
It is impossible to "teach" this entirely within lesson time; private reading,
directed by a teacher or other well-read person, is essential. Because you cannot
read everything, or even very much, try to profit from the experience of others.
Back to top Brighton Rock: what is it about? At one level, this novel is a simple,
if elegant, thriller: Ida Arnold, an unlikely heroine, pursues the evil but failed
gangster Pinkie Brown; she seeks his punishment, while trying to save from his
influence the young woman, Rose, whom Pinkie has married to buy her silence. In
these terms, with vivid but usually straightforward characters and well-drawn
locations, and the shocking conclusion (the reader is aware of Rose''s imminent
discovery of Pinkie''s hatred) the novel shows why it achieved great popularity,
and why it was successfully adapted for the cinema. Unlike some classic works,
it obeys the convention of popular fiction, that there should be a well-paced
and exciting story; "suspense" is also provided by the reader''s concern for the
perhaps doomed Rose. But why is the novel also considered to be serious fiction,
or a "modern classic"? This is a little less obvious, but we can find reasons
for this opinion, if we look. Like many writers from earlier times, Greene is
deeply interested in what could be called metaphysical questions: about the real
nature and purpose of this world, about the nature or existence, even, of God;
about man''s freedom, by his own efforts, to alter his circumstances - or lack
of this freedom. In order to address these arguments, Greene depicts characters
who are not at all complex, but who hold, profoundly in the case of Pinkie, radically
differing views on these matters. Back to top Dallow, like Ida, sees only the
immediate material world before him, as do the punters who see Brighton''s jolly
facade and gaiety, but not the squalor behind this. Pinkie, though, believes also
in a world of unseen but eternal spiritual realities. Initially, he believes these
to await him after death, and he aspires to better his status in this world; but
he comes, gradually, to see what Prewitt, his bent lawyer, articulates'
- 'How many Presidents have resigned from office? | Reference.com How many Presidents
have resigned from office? A: Quick Answer As of 2014, there has been only one
president to resign from office. That president was Richard Nixon on Aug. 9, 1974.
Minutes after his resignation, Vice President Gerald R. Ford was sworn into office
as the 37th president of the United States. Full Answer Nixon''s resignation can
be largely attributed to the clandestine and illegal activities his administration
undertook during his presidency. The activities were brought to light when members
of his administration were caught breaking into the Democratic headquarters at
the Watergate Hotel. This scandal, named the Watergate scandal, resulted in the
loss of almost all of his political support and the near-certainty of his impeachment.
As a result, Nixon took to radio and television and announced his resignation.'

menstrual cycle Menstruation and the menstrual cycle To receive Publications email
updates Enter email Submit Menstruation and the menstrual cycle Menstruation is
a woman''s monthly bleeding. When you menstruate, your body sheds the lining of
the uterus (womb). Learn how the menstrual cycle works and what to do if you have
painful or irregular periods. Expand all Collapse all What is menstruation? Menstruation
(men-STRAY-shuhn) is a woman''s monthly bleeding. When you menstruate, your body
sheds the lining of the uterus (womb). Menstrual blood flows from the uterus through
the small opening in the cervix and passes out of the body through the vagina
( see how the menstrual cycle works below ). Most menstrual periods last from
3 to 5 days. What is the menstrual cycle? When periods (menstruations) come regularly,
this is called the menstrual cycle. Having regular menstrual cycles is a sign
that important parts of your body are working normally. The menstrual cycle provides
important body chemicals, called hormones, to keep you healthy. It also prepares
your body for pregnancy each month. A cycle is counted from the first day of 1
period to the first day of the next period. The average menstrual cycle is 28
days long. Cycles can range anywhere from 21 to 35 days in adults and from 21
to 45 days in young teens. The rise and fall of levels of hormones during the
month control the menstrual cycle. What happens during the menstrual cycle? In
the first half of the cycle, levels of estrogen (the "female hormone") start to
rise. Estrogen plays an important role in keeping you healthy, especially by helping
you to build strong bones and to help keep them strong as you get older. Estrogen
also makes the lining of the uterus (womb) grow and thicken. This lining of the
womb is a place that will nourish the embryo if a pregnancy occurs. At the same
time the lining of the womb is growing, an egg, or ovum, in one of the ovaries
starts to mature. At about day 14 of an average 28-day cycle, the egg leaves the
ovary. This is called ovulation. After the egg has left the ovary, it travels
through the fallopian tube to the uterus. Hormone levels rise and help prepare
the uterine lining for pregnancy. A woman is most likely to get pregnant during
the 3 days before or on the day of ovulation. Keep in mind, women with cycles
that are shorter or longer than average may ovulate before or after day 14. A
woman becomes pregnant if the egg is fertilized by a man''s sperm cell and attaches
to the uterine wall. If the egg is not fertilized, it will break apart. Then,
hormone levels drop, and the thickened lining of the uterus is shed during the
menstrual period. See how the menstrual cycle works. What is a typical menstrual
period like? During your period, you shed the thickened uterine lining and extra
blood through the vagina. Your period may not be the same every month. It may
also be different than other women''s periods. Periods can be light, moderate,
or heavy in terms of how much blood comes out of the vagina. This is called menstrual
flow. The length of the period also varies. Most periods last from 3 to 5 days.
But, anywhere from 2 to 7 days is normal. For the first few years after menstruation
begins, longer cycles are common. A woman''s cycle tends to shorten and become
more regular with age. Most of the time, periods will be in the range of 21 to
35 days apart. What kinds of problems do women have with their periods? Women
can have a range of problems with their periods, including pain, heavy bleeding,
and skipped periods. Amenorrhea (ay-men-uh-REE-uh) — the lack of a menstrual period.
This term is used to describe the absence of a period in: Young women who haven''t
started menstruating by age 15 Women and girls who haven''t had a period for 90
days, even if they haven''t been menstruating for long Causes can include: Stress

- source_sentence: Which footballer won the Golden Boot for scoring the most goals
at 1986 World Cup Finals?
sentences:
- World Cup Golden Boot Winners - Historical World Cup Top Scorers Argentina 5 One
of the most active markets for any World Cup is the Golden Boot with a number
of players vying for an award which is presented to the highest goal scorer in
the tournament. Over the years, there have been some incredible goal scoring feats
at World Cup finals but who are the individuals that have made their mark in previous
tournaments and what indicators can they give those of us who are making predictions
for 2014? The Record Breaker France’s Just Fontaine holds the record for the most
goals in a single World Cup tournament and it’s one that may never be broken.
In current World Cup competitions, the most successful teams could play as many
as seven games but could any of the current players match the 13 strikes that
Fontaine achieved in Sweden in 1958? The striker was prolific in club football
and averaged nearly a goal a game during his eight years with Stade Reims. His
ratio at international level was even better and his performances at the 1958
finals would leave Fontaine with a record of 30 goals from 23 appearances. It’s
claimed that he was playing in a pair of borrowed boots when he began his campaign
with a hat trick in a 7-3 defeat of Uruguay. The Frenchman followed that achievement
with a brace against Yugoslavia and a single, winning goal against the Scots which
allowed his country to progress to the next phase. Three goals followed over two
matches against Northern Ireland and Brazil before Fontaine netted no less than
four times in the third place play off against West Germany. Behind this incredible
achievement, Sandor Kocsis managed eleven strikes in the finals of 1954 but since
Gerd Muller’s 10 in 1970, no player has managed more than eight in a single tournament.
The Prolific Nations Aside from Just Fontaine’s magnificent 13 back in 1958, no
Frenchman has taken the Golden Boot award. In fact, after the Stade Reims centre
forward, there is a considerable gap in the country’s all time list. The finals
in Sweden were the only time that Fontaine appeared in a tournament so he finished
seven clear of Thierry Henry who scored six goals – three in 1998 and three in
2002. Other countries have been more prolific over a longer span and they tend
to be the more successful nations in terms of World Cup victories. Brazil are
well represented when it comes to the tournament’s leading goal scorers and out
of eighteen finals, five Brazilians have either shared the Golden Boot or won
it outright. The most successful of these was Ronaldo who currently holds the
overall record for goals scored at the World Cup finals. The former Real Madrid
target man has 15 strikes, spread over three tournaments, including a top scoring
effort of eight as his country lifted the trophy in 2002. Behind Ronaldo, the
legendary Pele has 12 goals in four tournaments although the man who many believe
was the greatest to ever play the game, never actually won a Golden Boot. Germany
also feature heavily in the list of all time leading scorers and Miroslav Klose
has a chance of eclipsing Ronaldo’s record at the 2014 tournament. Along with
the great Gerd Muller , the Lazio centre forward has 14 goals in World Cup finals
and is set to be Germany’s first choice front man in Brazil. In total, German
or West German players have finished as top scorer in three tournaments. Gerd
Muller recorded an impressive ten goals in 1970 before Klose took an outright
win in 2006. Thomas Muller completes the trio although the Bayern Munich man shared
the award in 2010 with David Villa and Wesley Sneijder. An unlikely hero After
West Germany’s Gerd Muller took the prestigious Golden Boot in 1970, he joined
up with the national squad as they looked to win the World Cup on home soil four
years later. The host nation duly completed a win after edging past the Netherlands
by two goals to one in the final and while the man they called ‘Der Bomber’ scored
four times, the top scorer accolade finished in the hands of an unlikely recipient.

mental and physical, than his father. There is still in existence a translation
of Guicciardini which he wrote with his own hand in order to qualify himself for
government by acquiring a knowledge of political history. He was a fine horseman
and keen hunter. His artistic taste was shown by his patronage of Diego Vel�zquez
, and his love of letters by his favor to Lope de Vega , Calder�n , and other
dramatists. He is even credited, on fairly probable testimony, with a share at
least in the composition of several comedies. His good intentions were of no avail
to his government. Coming to the throne at the age of sixteen, he did the wisest
thing he could by allowing himself to be guided by the most capable man he could
find. His favorite, Olivares, was a far more honest man than the Duke of Lerma,
and was more fit for the place of prime minister than any Spaniard of the time.
But Philip IV had not the strength of mind to free himself from the influence
of Olivares when he had grown to manhood. The amusements which the favorite had
encouraged became the business of the king''s life. When, in 1643, the disasters
falling on the monarchy on all sides led to the dismissal of Olivares, Philip
had lost the power to devote himself to hard work. After a brief struggle with
the task of directing the administration of the most extensive and the worst organized
monarchy in Europe, he sank back into his pleasures and was governed by other
favorites. His political opinions were those he had inherited from his father
and grandfather. He thought it his duty to support the German Habsburgs and the
cause of the Roman Catholic Church against the Protestants, to assert his sovereignty
over Holland, and to extend the dominions of his house. The utter exhaustion of
his people in the course of a hopeless struggle with Holland, France and England
was seen by him with sympathy, but he considered it an unavoidable misfortune
and not the result of his own errors, since he could not be expected to renounce
his rights or to desert the cause of God and the Church. In public he maintained
a bearing of rigid solemnity, and was seen to laugh only three times in the course
of his life. But in private he indulged in horseplay and very coarse immorality.
His court was grossly vicious. The early death of his eldest son, Baltasar Carlos,
was unquestionably due to debauchery encouraged by the gentlemen entrusted by
the king with his education. The lesson shocked the king, but its effect soon
wore off. Philip IV died broken-hearted on the 17th of September 1665, expressing
the hope that his surviving son, Carlos, would be more fortunate than himself.

- Olympic Games | Ice Hockey Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Medalists Ice hockey
tournaments have been staged at the Olympic Games since 1920. The men's tournament
was introduced at the 1920 Summer Olympics and was transferred permanently to
the Winter Olympic Games programme in 1924. The women's tournament was first held
at the 1998 Winter Olympics . The Olympic Games were originally intended for amateur
athletes until 1988, and the National Hockey League (NHL) did not allow its players
to compete until 1998. From 1924 to 1988, the tournament started with a round-robin
series of games and ended with the medal round. Medals were awarded based on points
accumulated during that round. The games of the tournament follow the rules of
the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), which differ slightly from the
rules used in the NHL . The tournament follows the World Anti-Doping Agency's
(WADA) rules on Use of performance enhancing drugs and the IIHF maintains a Registered
Testing Pool, a list of top players who are subjected to random in-competition
and out-of-competition drug tests. Several players have tested positive for banned
substances since the 1972 Winter Olympics . In the men's tournament, Canada was
the most successful team of the first three decades, winning six of seven gold
medals. Czechoslovakia , Sweden and the United States were also competitive during
this period and won multiple medals. Between 1920 and 1968, the Olympic hockey
tournament was also counted as the Ice Hockey World Championship for that year.
The Soviet Union first participated in 1956 and overtook Canada as the dominant
international team, winning seven of the nine tournaments in which they participated.
The United States won gold medals in 1960 and in 1980 , which included their "
Miracle on Ice " upset of the Soviet Union. Canada went 50 years without a gold
medal, before winning one in 2002 , and following it up with another in 2010 .
Other nations to win gold include Great Britain in 1936 , the Unified Team in
1992 , Sweden in 1994 and 2006 and the Czech Republic]] in 1998 . Other medal-winning
nations include Switzerland,Germany,Finland and Russia]]. In 1986, the International
Olympic Committee (IOC) voted to allow all athletes to compete in Olympic Games
held after 1988. The NHL was initially reluctant to allow its players to compete
because the Olympics are held in the middle of the NHL season, and the league
would have to halt play if many of its players participated. However, NHL players
were allowed to compete starting in 1998. The format of the tournament was adjusted
to accommodate the NHL schedule; a preliminary round was played without NHL players
or the top six teams—Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, Russia, Sweden and the
United States—followed by a final round which included them. The tournament format
was changed again in 2006; every team played five preliminary games with the full
use of NHL players. In July 1992, the IOC voted to approve women's hockey as an
Olympic event; it was first held at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano. The Nagano
Organizing Committee was hesitant to include the event because of the additional
costs of staging the tournament, but an agreement was reached that limited the
field to six teams, and ensured that no additional facilities would be built.
The Canadian and American teams have dominated the event, typically losing only
to each other. The United States won the first tournament in 1998, while Canada
won in 2002, 2006 and 2010. Contents Edit The first Olympic ice hockey tournament

of a pastime”—Alexander the Great [ 1 ] Table of Contents References The Preface
I’ve played tiddlywinks for 24 years, ever since I ventured into a dormitory at
MIT on my first day as a freshman and encountered (no pun intended) the local
denizens on their hands and knees shooting winks across the carpet and down the
stairs. (It really isn’t normally played on the floor, actually.) I was captivated
at the congruence (technical term, sorry) of the ivory towers of MIT housing the
noble sport of tiddlywinks, and amazed that MIT might, perhaps inadvertantly (but
not always), lend credence to a sport enmired in such a mischievous stereotype.
Tiddlywinks appealed to me because of its unique character, because it is almost
universally known, and because it demands precise dexterous skills, while also
requiring strategy and tactics, and also a measure of luck. And so, what follows
is the first definitive history of tiddlywinks boxed games. There is a history
in all men’s lives.[ 2 ] I invite and expect to hear from game collectors and
historians to help me add to, revise, and where necessary, fix errors in this
history. I also invite you to visit my tiddlywinks web pages at http://www.tiddlywinks.org
, where this article will appear subsequent to its publication in Games Researchers’
Notes, with all the photos in living color. — Rick Tucker, 31 October 1996 Setting
the Stage: The Oft-Ridiculed Game “Have we sold our precious heritage in exchange
for frivolity and a game of tiddlywinks?”, letter by Lillie Struble in Library
Journal[ 3 ]. This was the most unkindest cut of all.[ 4 ] “A 15th-century Donatello
bronze, The Madonna and Child, served the Fitzwilliam family as a tiddlywinks
bowl until the Victoria and Albert Museum [London] recognized its importance”,
ARTnews[ 5 ]. “Even in the matter of nursery games the Victorian child took things
very seriously. There were some board games, however, which provided little or
no intellectual stimulus. Chief among these was […] tiddlywinks, whose apparent
inanity (to the uninitiated) is often regarded as the ultimate in useless activities.”,
James Mackay [ 6 ]. Prince Philip once suggested that tiddlywinks be included
in the Olympics. To which Ian Wooldridge of the Olympic Committee responded: “At
the risk of propagating royal support for tiddlywinks, a game of the utmost tedium
played by anti-athletes too tired or apathetic to get up off the floor, I have
to concede that his argument makes sense.”, British Airways magazine.[ 7 ] “The
research described in this chapter concerns a well-known children’s pastime, the
game of tiddlywinks, where the idea is to take one counter and press it on the
edge of another, to make the latter jump. Because this is extremely simple, the
research centered less on cognizance of the mov'

12 Aug 2010 Football has its roots in ancient China, while the modern version
of the game began on the streets of medieval England before evolving into the
most popular sport in the world. Medieval origins Modern football has its origins
in the streets of medieval England. Neighbouring towns would play each other in
games where a heaving mass of players would struggle to drag a pig’s bladder by
any means possible to markers at either end of town. A royal ban Football became
so violent in England it was banned by the king for more than 300 years. English
public schools are credited with subsequently establishing the modern football
codes, thus turning the mob riot into a sport in the 16th century. Olympic history
Football first appeared on the programme of the Games of the II Olympiad, Paris
1900. It has been on the programme of each edition of the Games ever since, with
the exception of Los Angeles 1932. Europe dominated the competition until after
1992 in Barcelona, where Spain became the last European team to win a gold medal.
Since the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, African and South American teams have
won all the gold medals. Also in 1996, women’s football was introduced into the
Olympic programme. Three times, the USA has been on the highest step of the podium
- in 1996, in 2004 in Athens and in 2008 in Beijing. But this team was beaten
by the Norwegians in the final of the 2000 Games in Sydney.
- 'The Azores Islands - Portugal | Portugal.com Porto and the North Azores Consisting
of nine islands, the Azores are divided into three groups: the eastern ( Sao
Miguel and Santa Maria islands), the central ( Terceira , Graciosa , Sao Jorge
, Pico and Faial islands), and the western ( Flores and Corvo islands). Apart
from international airports of Santa Maria, Ponta Delgada and Angra do Heroismo,
there are flights to the islands (operated by the regional airline TAP Air Portugal)
and ferry boats between the islands. Even the blase visitor will be touched by
the sapphire blue and emerald green lakes, fertile prairies, volcanic cones and
craters, colorful hydrangeas and azaleas, 15th century churches, and majestic
manor houses. This legendary land, consisting of nine poetically-named islands,
enjoys year-round mild temperatures (between 14°C and 22°C–57°F and 71°F) and
is a peaceful shelter with a population of 250000 inhabitants, for whom the words
“stress” and “pollution” are unheard. There are many stories to tell of the archipelago’s
beauty, of fishermen or shepherds, but among them there is one which was told
by a holidaymaker. As a foreign couple was silently looking at the Caldeira das
Sete Cidades when they were interrupted by their six-year-old son, who asked them:
“Is this God’s home?” Sao Miguel Island The largest of all. In Ponta Delgada,
the capital, the famous 18th century portals open up to a number of monuments
that are worth visiting, most of them built between the 16th and the 18th century:
Carlos Machado Museum and churches of Sao Sebastiao, Sao Pedro, Sao Jose, Colegio
and Nossa Senhora da Conceicao; convent and chapel of Nossa Senhora da Esperanca
and Santa Ana Chapel. Palaces: Fonte Bela and Santa Ana; Conceicao and Santa Catarina;
Casa de Carlos Bicudo and the Pacos do Concelho. Other places to visit: Caldeira
das Sete Cidades (green and blue lakes); Lagoa do Fogo; Ribeira Grande; Vale das

centuries), Santo Cristo Church (16th century), Cruz da Barra (Manueline) and
Ethnographic House. In the Furna do Enxofre, dazzling sights and a vaulted cave
over an underground lake (between 11am and 2pm the sunlight filters in). You must
also visit Guadalupe and its Baroque church, Luz and Praia (typical windmills).
