Island in the Sun

Zara and my last trip together was to Las Palmas, Gran Canaria and was a much needed break from the cold and dark of Scotland. We had an early morning flight when we left Edinburgh it was -2°C when we landed in the Canaries it was 27°C...for those of you that only work in Fahrenheit that's ~28°F in Edinburgh to ~83°F in the Canaries so lovely. Not having to wear a jacket, scarf, and hat when you go outside was amazing. It was a nice little respite from the 7 hours of daylight you get in Edinburgh it was actually light outside until almost 8!! Basically our holiday consisted of laying on the beach and eating, celebrating the end of the semester and end of Zara's time in Europe. I did have to brush up a little on my Spanish but we did pretty well for two only English speakers...I was even told they were impressed with my accent! We both got a little color so we once again the tannest people in Scotland. I totally recommend Las Palmas to anyone wanting an island getaway. We flew back on Zara's bday and so we got to celebrate in both the Canaries and Edinburgh to wrap up her time in Scotland. Sad to see Zara go but glad we got to have one last vacay together!
