After the whirlwind of our wedding, we left two days after the wedding and flew to Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands (owned by Spain, but actually closer to Africa.) We originally wanted a more adventurous honeymoon, but after two trans-atlantic flights and the craziness that surrounded the wedding, we were thankful for a relaxing destination.

Couldn't wait to pass out on the long flight. All we could
think about at this point was getting sleep!
|
We stayed at a timeshare generously lent to us by Rachel's parents, which was right on the coast.
The island is very small, and once we slept for about three days straight, we decided we did want to explore, so we rented a car for one day. We were able to see a lot in just one day of driving.

| Los Gigantes |
 |
| The terrain surrounding the highest point in Spain, Mount Teide. |
 |
The famous drago tree.

| Gotta love selfies...the only way to get pictures together when we're the only people for miles around! |

We highly recommend Tenerife, and would love to go to the other Canary Islands. While we wish we could have seen more, we also enjoyed the change of pace, and left feeling rested, refreshed, and ready for married life in Barcelona.
