It’s a good thing I love La Palma, because I get off the island once or twice a year. But last weekend was my great nephew’s baptism, and we hadn’t even seen him. So, although we absolutely didn’t have the time, we went to Tenerife for the weekend.
Getting up at 4:30 am for the 6am ferry was a killer, but we had a great time. We stayed in a really nice hotel in Guimar (the Casona Santo Domingo I recommend it), saw family, saw the pyramids, and met the baby (isn’t he gorgeous?). best of all, we actually had time to talk to each other.
Of course the catch is that we never did all the domestic stuff we usually do over a weekend. The laundry baskets are overflowing even though the sheets haven’t been changed. The blogs haven’t been updated. There is no home-made stew in the freezer.
It was worth it.
