These are a few of my favorite things....

I am ready to go back to school! I am so over summer and wishing for fall to hurry up and get here; jeans with sweaters, my beloved birkenstocks, Hawkeye (and Johnnie...) football games, apple picking, soup, warm slippers and red/orange/yellow leaves.

Happy Summer...

In the summertime when the weather is high you can chase right up and touch the sky...

Wishing...

I were there.

I've been back in the good 'ol US of A for just about two months and am missing Spain immensely! Instead of hiding out in my house from the storms passing through lately, I would much rather be sitting at an outside cafe sipping cafe con leche.

Final Weeks

So... I've neglected to load pictures the last few weeks. Oops.

6 days until I return to the states... still not quite sure what to think about that.

Ahoy, matey!

Our most adventurous day involved renting a car, driving down the coast a few hours to the south part of the island and getting on a big 'ol pirate boat for a few hours of whale watching.
We were fortunate and saw plentiful whales and dolphins (while getting a nice tan!)

It's just too bad they don't do flips and tricks like at Seaworld...

Playa Jardin- Tenerife

Beaches in Tenerife = superb. The sand/rocks are black from the volcanic action on the island. One would think that black sand would scald the bottom of your feet, but it was suprisingly not too hot at all. In fact, I think regular sand is hotter.

What is it about the sound of waves crashing that is so theraputic?

Bon Voyage

I will be on the Island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands until late late next Thursday. Pictures to follow upon my return!
