Feliz Navidad!

Yes, we're living in Denmark this year, but we spent the holidays in the Canary Islands! We arrived on Christmas morning and spent the whole week relaxing in the sun. On Monday, we luxuriated at the spa for several hours, and then lounged at the pool for a few more hours before going into the nearby town/fishing village, Puerto de las Nieves, for a wonderful dinner. We ate there several more times during the week, each meal seemingly better than the one before.

On Tuesday we went horseback riding through several nearby banana farms, and Wednesday was spent hiking. Andrew found a trail online that was supposed to be easy, but it turned out that the last third of it was basically scaling down a cliff (which we didn't do). Thursday we spent the afternoon at the pool and on Friday we went back to the spa. Saturday came way too early and we were a bit sad to leave all the warmth and sunlight.
