Such a massive, striking beachline could be on the Algave.
... but it wasn't Europe as I now noticed
Walter, where are you, home?
At least, Walter, they speak the same language there...
The Marshall islands, Francis?
The same language than Algarve, Miss Letty...

I'm much prettier than that, as you well know. And yes, that
is where I staid in Chicago. Nice hotel -- 1920s charm. For people who hate the efficiency of modern places, as I do, it's the perfect place.
Hi, Thomas.
So, Francis, they speak Portuguese on this island. You once said that Portuguese was the language of East Timor, but I am going to guess somewhere near South America.
Near South America is right, Miss Letty.
So, Francis. It is NOT the islands of South America but some place close, right.
French Caribbean? Guadeloupe? St Lucia?
Ilha da Trindade, Brazil?
Near South America with Poruguese should be close to Brasil.
Trindade
Trindade
Elevation: 600+ m (1,968 feet)
Coordinates: 20°30′52″S, 29°19′50″W
Location: Atlantic ocean
Range:
Type: Stratovolcano
The small island of Trindade, with an area of 10.3 km2, lies at the eastern end of an E-W-trending chain of submarine volcanoes and guyots extending about 1100 km from the continental shelf off the Brazilian coast. The island lies more than halfway between Brazil and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge near the eastern end of the submarine Vitória-Trindade Ridge.
Trindade is a mountainous, dissected volcanic island with numerous phonolitic lava domes and steep-sided volcanic plugs. The highest summit is Pico Desejado, near the center, about 600 meters high. Pico Monumento, a remarkable peak in the form of a slightly inclined cylinder, rises from the west coast. The youngest volcanism, at Vulcao de Paredao on the SE tip of the island, constructed a pyroclastic cone with lava flows that are no older than the Holocene (Almeida, 1961). Remnants of the crater of the 200-m-high cinder cone are still preserved. Lava flows traveled from the cone to the north, where they form an irregular shoreline and offshore islands. Smaller volcanic centers of the latest volcanic stage are found in the Morro Vermelho area in the south-central part of the island.
There is a small settlement in the south on Enseada dos Portugueses, supporting a garrison of the Brazilian Navy, 32 strong.
Well, Tico/Ti. Something tells me that Francis is in bed by now. <smile>
So wherever it is, it must keep until tomorrow.
We need a snoozing emoticon.
