Lanzarote, Spain - Canary Islands
Balcony view this beautiful, sunny Sunday! I dressed up for church and one of my favorite waiters presented me with a linen rose -saying how nice I looked and he wished me a lovely day, as I was leaving the dining room. So sweet! The staff is really great and I love that we get to spend so much time with them - most have contracts for 6 to 9 months! My room Stewart wants to take me out for Indonesian food, in one of the upcoming ports, to show me his favorite dishes from home!
Below are some views of harbor around the town of Arrecife. I had a Marilyn Monroe "Some Like It Hot" moment when I climbed up to the top of the Fort. Did I mention it was very windy? Well my fancy dress gusted up around my neck while I was taking photo's and thank goodness, the 3 men who had just been up there with me, were down the ladder at that moment! Caught me totally by surprise and took a little wrangling, to get everything back in place!
Mass was at noon at the Parroquia de San GInes and I went with Kimberly & Phil from San Diego CA , who asked if they could join me when we met after I was coming back from Mass in Ceuta, Spain, last Sunday. They are also Founders and bought a villa on the 7th deck. Very nice - big golfers - who want to try Pickleball. They plan to get off and on - have 4 kids back home ages to 23 to 29, and they are hoping they have weddings and babies soon. The Church was so quaint and people very welcoming. I took photo's of murals after mass - found the Heaven to Hell one very compelling - all kinds of images within it. Don't think I have seen on like this before.
