My mother was born here and one of her wishes was to do tai chi with me while we visited. Maia, Santa Maria, Açores. My grandfather owned a small house on the cliffs right above this pool. He sold it to bring his wife and kids to the USA.

Two people are practicing tai chi on a picturesque outdoor deck overlooking the ocean, with rocky hills in the background.
