Travel

Arriving in the morning – we were greeted by ugly cliffs. This island might be one of the Canaries, but Santa Cruuz de Tenerife is really ugly.

Rather than join a tour, we just hiked around the city for a while – then bought a round trip ticket for the Tranvia over to La Trinidad.

At the end of the 30 minute tram ride out, it was more of the same – a few interesting architectural details and doors, but basically cement slab construction. Not surprising, there doesn’t seem to be much for trees.

On return to Santa Cruz de Tenerife, there is construction and restoration –

Knitting

I will finish up the rivendell in another couple of hours. Then I have to decide if it is the kauni or I love gansey socks.

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
