Visits

2015-03-27: We booked the last ferry over to Tenerife hoping for a sunset cruise of sorts. Instead, the ferry was delayed, and I watched in the distance as a couple hundred Cory's Shearwaters flew around in perfect light. We eventually made it over to Los Cristianos, and my first thought was that we should have stayed in La Gomera.
