    I love Fogo. It's my second home. Such a fantastic place to visit. (And that pic is from my husband's backyard) :)

    I can't believe I wasn't in Fogo. What was I thinking? (Obviously I wasn't.) I love this little taste of the Rock you are giving us every day. Really love, love it.

    Did you know that Fogo is fire in Portuguese? Pretty cool. :) That building looks like it has a lot of stories to tell.
