INTERESTING THINGS WE HAVE SEEN

We are walking for an hour, every morning we can, as we did when we were home.  We have been trying to find some new interesting places close.  These are some things we have seen.

 We finally hiked to the top of Red Mountain.  The view was spectacular

We heard this cove is a nude beach but we were there too early in the morning to know.  Maybe they come in the summer.

There is a beautiful mustard colored moss growing on the rocks.

This twisty plant grows everywhere.

This is a hill overlooking Los Cristianos and there are trails all over it.  We climbed it once but probably never again.  I thought Farmington-Fruit Heights was Rock Heaven but I was mistaken.  It is only the Telestial Kingdom.  This place is the Celestial.  There is almost no dirt on this hill.  It was a tough walk but the views were worth it.

Rock art at our top.  Look above my head you can see the tip of Teide, the volcano on the island.

At the top overlooking Los Cristianos harbor.

Teide with snow on it, which is rare.  We had a week of big rain storms, which is also unusual.  Actually, Teide is covered by clouds most days so it was fun to get this clear view of it. 

This is a huge live Lamb Topiary.  I wish they wouldn't park cars in front of it but it does give you perspective.  Also see Mike on the right, and don't you love the color of this house!  I think this is a vegetable market or greenhouse on the left of the house but wasn't operating when we were here.

Another view of the Topiary.
