Jaunt - but Brief - in Tenerife!

Hola, from Tenerife! My last evening here, but have managed to pack a lot in to a short time.... I flew down here on Sunday, almost on the spur of the moment, at the kind invitation of friends, Di and John. (Di and I taught together, many moons ago, the year before I headed off to Canada.) D and J, who have been down here since the beginning of the month, sent me a text at the end of last week, inviting me to join them here this week - a real 'carpe diem' opportunity! - so here I have been, in the Canary Islands, some 700 miles south of southern Spain, soaking up warmth and sunshine, for the last few days......
Yesterday we took a drive up into the centre of the island, to El Teide, an extinct volcano. It turned out to be the perfect day for such an adventure, as the weather was unusually clear at that high altitude and the sun shone the whole time. There are some amazing rock formations surrounding the crater - I'll TRY to post some pictures!
Just tried, and once again received the same message - only difference being that this time it is in Spanish!!
