It has been such a very long time and I have so many things to update y'all on, so I will try to keep each post to the most important...
Semana Santa (Holy Week) we spent in Gran Canaria. Not my favorite place in the world, as many of you could guess if you knew how many northern European tourists were gracing the beaches with their presence. Very touristy in type of people, type of accommodation, and prices, all things I don't love, but we did have some nice sun time (in between the spurts of rain and cold), a day on a boat, and a trip in a rented car to the interior, northern towns (much nicer in my opinion than where we were staying in Playa del Inglés). Here are some key pictures, taken by Rachel, my Canadian, because my camera was stolen on the beach mid-week:

Our apartment
One of the views from the boat of a neighboring town
A shot of the dunes
Interior, mountain area, VERRRY COLD.
In the northern mountain town of Teror
Our strange boat
The beach and dunes near our apartment
Typical Canarian house in Teror
Street in the capital city of Las Palmas
A typical Canarian food - papas arrugadas with mojo picante - little potatoes with the skin on and a spicy sauce.
The sky pretty much looked like this the whole week, but this was the beach right in front of our apartment.
The pool in our apartment!
At a traditional bar in Las Palmas
Just a boat full of northern Europeans, a few Canadians, and Kelsey...
