Gran Canaria

Yes, we even managed to collect some rocks on our honeymoon trip.
The next day, we went to the tourist office. There's not a lot of stuff to see, per se, in the Canary Islands. It's more exploratory than that. There's a lot of natural phenomenons. I think you go there to visit nature, not to see art or architecture. And you definitely need to rent a car and zoom around the island at your own convenience. The tourist office wasn't very helpful. Then we got sidetracked at a travel agency. Carolina (who spoke English very well) promised us many adventures and great Bed and Breakfast types of lodging. A.k.a. Casas Rurales. Something got lost in the translation. More on that later. Travel between the islands takes longer than you expect. In order to see two more islands besides Gran Canaria, we opted to travel by ferry to Lanzarote, plane to Tenerife, and hydrofoil back to Gran Canaria. We had one and a half days in each place. But we had more time on Gran Canaria. So we planned to head out that evening on the overnight ferry.
For the rest of the day, we spent some more time lying on the beach and taking naps. We found a delicious place for lunch. It was recommended by the guidebook. Michael had fish and I had quail. Yum. But both dishes has a lot of bones. Yikes! Our waiter (who was from Lanzarote, introduced us to the pleasures of Lanzarote wine. We don't know if it was great wine according to the experts. But we really enjoyed it. Before the ferry, we grabbed a couple of sandwiches. And Michael got his first taste of a Spanish tortilla. He's hooked.
