Canary Islands!!

Well, this weekend I am in the Canary Islands with Mateo, Meghan, and Dillard, a friend from school. We are on the island of Las Palmas. The weather is absolutely fantastic. We could not have asked for better. It has been sunny and shining the entire time. The first day we went to the beach and I slathered on the tanning oil, while Meghan and Dillard slathered on the sun tan lotion. They have very pale skin and try to ward off the sun. They did a great job at putting it on, but later that night and the rest of the trip they have been paying a terrible price. They are so red and burnt that they can barely move. I feel terrible for them. The second day we rented a convertible and drove all around the island. We drove to the big town and Meghan had her first experience with Sushi--she didn´t like it, unfortunately. I loved it and have been missing Sushi. Then, I drove us back in the direction of our hotel. We peeled off into a little town and headed towards the mountains. Dillard has never driven a manual, so we decided, ´What better time than now, in Spain, in a convertible?´ and we were right. He did a great job. We saw a cute little city called Santa Lucia and had the best sweets from a Panadaria. They were having a carnival and we got to see everyones costumes. Then we drove back and had a delicious steak dinner and yummy Mojitos. Then went to bed. Today we layed by the pool and relaxed. Walked along the beach a little and ate smoe good seafood pasta. We relaxed some more and then the girls went for a walk and the boys went for some beers. Now, we are headed out for the night. Who knows what the night may hold....it´s our last night here, so we need to live it up! Unfortunately there is talk of the Tsunami hitting the islands tomorrow, so hopefully our flight will leave before. If not, it will definitely be an interesting end to this wonderful vacation!
