We’re Here

Gran Canarias is the round island near the bottom just right of center.

We’re here! Here, by the way, is Gran Canarias, Spain. It is one of the Canary Islands owned by Spain. 

 

 

We arrived after about 22 hours of travel – about 3 PM local time.  No screaming babies, everything on schedule, so all-in-all it was a pretty easy trip but still long. 

This is a table top at the McDonalds in the Madrid Airport where we had a 4 hour layover. They have video games projected onto the table tops. Tom and I played Shark Attack - fun.

Neither Tom nor I sleep well, or at all really, on planes so we were pretty much toast by the time we arrived. 

We have a kitchen so we went grocery shopping and then explored the grounds a bit. After sipping rum punch on the balcony, we ate an early dinner and were out for the night by 7:30.

It’s amazing what 12 hours of sleep will do. We’re off to explore and possibly do some hiking today.

  2. Charli,
    Wow! I thought you’d be traveling somewhere since I hadn’t heard anything from you in awhile. The pics look lovely, hope I’m able to travel when I retire. Back to work, but will write more afterschool.

    • How is it going? We had some issues at the office and were pretty busy, and then it was time to leave. I’ll give you a call when I get home. Glad you’re coming along on this trip. You need the break.

    • Hey Ashley, miss you too. They cookies were shortbread with not much sugar so kind of bland. Still, it was one of those quirky, unique experiences that make the trip an adventure.
