Stanley
is visiting the inside of a crater in an active volcano. Below the
surface the ground is very hot. Water and steam percolate to the
surface. The ground was warm under his feet.
This is where they cook a traditional Azorean dish called cozido.
Beef, chicken, sausages, cabbage, carrots and potatoes are layered in a
pot. The pot is placed in the ground to cook for seven hours. The pot
is then removed and taken to a local restaurant. Of course Stanley had
to try the cozido. He liked it. There had a very different and delicious flavor.
After
lunch Stanley visited the town of Furnas where more hot springs bubbled
and steamed from below the earth's surface. You could not touch this
water because it was to hot. The smell of sulfur was in the air.
