Hola todos,
Just wanted to say hey! from the Canary Islands. I've been here for 5 days with Rach and Katie, relaxing on our private patio, chilling by the pool at our hotel, and enjoying the sun at the beach. And eating, a lot. We have our own kitchen so our meals have been yummy and at times very creative when we started running out of supplies :)
Although the Canaries are a territory of Spain, they are very close to Africa, and we are right by the equator. So the sun is way hotter and I have been getting very burnt, despite all of my best efforts at shade and sunscreen. A lot of families and older couples from cold, northern Europe come here to vacation, there are a lot of British and German people here.
And the funny thing about vacationing in Europe is that.... everyone is topless. All the time. Rach and Katie and I joked about finding a nude beach until we realized... everywhere is a nude beach. No on here is even a little suprised about it, but, as Americans, it took us awhile to get used to it. It's still weird to see topless moms watching their 10 year old kids in the pool. Isn't that awkward for anyone?!? But, on the upside, it seems that everyone has a good body image in Europe, and the three of us felt much more comfortable in our bathing suits since everyone else wasn't wearing one, haha.
Tomorrow we're heading out to Valencia to enjoy the city, and maybe go to the beach again, if the weather is nice.
I will be back to the United States in 23 days! :) Seems so crazy that my adventures are almost over!
Un beso,
Ann
