Larry's birthday is March 13th and to celebrate this year, he wanted to go to Tenerife in the Canary Islands. We arrived on Thursday the 10th to begin our adventure.
We got to our lovely hotel just in time for dinner by the pool
Friday
The next morning got to see our hotel in the daylight
Before venturing out, put on the sun screen and the instant tan (kind of doesn't make sense, does it?!)
The street our hotel was located on
Next up, try to figure out how to change the language on the navigation system (impossible!)
We don't speak German!
Driving up the coast
Checking out some volcanic rock
My favorite part of the island Los Gigantes
Souvenirs and refreshments with a group of cyclists (crazy!!) NO WAY would I ride a bike on this island!!
The only beach we set foot on
Sangria time
by another pool
Most delicious dinner
My first ever oyster from the shell
Cotton candy!!
Saturday
Breakfast by the pool
Nice to look at, never did get in it
After driving all over the island on Friday, we decided to take a stroll through the village our hotel was located in, Garachico
Bread delivery
I loved all the carved wood!
Took a walk through the volcanic rock

This is the largest calamari I have ever seen

Sunday
Finally a day without a cloud in the sky! We got back in the car and headed to Tiede National Park
Mount Tiede is the highest mountain in Spain, 12,198 feet
It's an active volcano, last erupted in 1909
but surprised how warm it was
