Sete Cidades......

Oh, how I love fairy tales and tales of lore. In the Azores there are two lakes side by side named "Sete Cidades" (literally "Seven Cities") - and here is the story. There was a princess who had blue eyes who fell in love with a shepherd boy who had green eyes. The King was not too happy about this!!! Logically, he wanted her to marry royalty. He forbade her from seeing the boy again. She did so on ONE condition - that they might have one LAST meeting. The two met, and when they realized it was the last time they would see one another, they began to CRY and CRY - his tears from his green eyes formed a green lake. Her tears from her blue eyes formed a blue lake. Isn't that a beautiful story??
