Tenerife-Canary Islands





Alas,

this is my last travelogue 
post..
from our European tour last fall..

but flipping through
the photos...

I remembered it all as if it was just yesterday...


our last stop before heading home
was 
the Canary Islands..

we had no idea what to expect..
and we woke to this...






rain, 
cloudy,
breezy...








and then suddenly..
the clouds moved out











and the rainbows appeared..








two of them..
one traversed the islands..









and with such a spectacular start..
we expected our day 
was going to be splendid...







stepping foot on land
we were greeted by a huge vertical green wall...















which was stunning...








and a monument..

and then we began to walk...
uphill...









walking, walking, walking..






above..
  the view 
looking back to the water...




and more walking... up hill..





up...




up...




to a park..







and then it seemed to even out for a bit..
and this fountain was so beautiful..









the clouds parted just at the right moment..






and being hungry..
we kept walking...






until we found a lovely little 
cafe...








and I had the most deliciously decadent 
gluten free chocolate muffin
and cappuccino..








and while it was never on our list of places to see...
we both enjoyed ourselves 
so much..






how could we resist with such
a glorious welcome...


it was really a lovely journey...
