"Favorite Things..."

Last night at dinner, a friend of mine asked:  "Name five things that you like about Tenerife."  That got me thinking about a blog I wanted to share.  There have been some wonderful things we have seen and discovered while in Tenerife, many of which I have shared already.  But these last few are some of our favorites...not in any particular order.

I will never get tired of looking out at the ocean and the different cloud formations.  I just love the way the sun is beaming through the dark clouds.  It reminds me, even in the darkest of times, God's love will shine through.

One of the kid's favorite things to do is when we are walking back to the ship is stop for Italian Ice Cream-Gelato.  I think we have been ruined for life.  The flavors are "to die for".  They range from fruit flavors to chocolate flavors to coffee and nut flavors.  Every one of them is incredible!

Another favorite of ours is to go out for dinner with friends.  In the above picture we went to the "Meter Bar".  You can get a pizza, sausage, and other foods a meter long.  The pizzas in Tenerife are scrumptious!  Of course almost every meal here is served with fries, even breakfast!

One thing Mike has really enjoyed is all the different ships that we have seen pull into port from many different countries.  The above ship is an auxiliary ship from Germany.

Finally, this is the best of them all...the pastry shop.  Once a week (many twice a week) we have come to this little shop and pick up pastries.  They are the best pastries we have ever had.  Many are done with different types of cream fillings.  I am glad in some ways we are leaving for Togo soon, so I will not be tempted anymore! =)  All in fun...we have enjoyed our time here, however, we are very anxious to get back to Africa.
