#10- We have great people watching from our terrace but that's because we live in the center of the shopping district and have to resist buying bakery, t-shirts, cameras and jewelery everyday.
#9- Our life is filled with music but that's because our rental is directly above a disco - music starts in earnest at 11:00 p.m.
#8- Puerto de la Cruz is like a charming Bavarian tourist village dropped into the tropics but (with apologies to my German grandmas and our friends from the Heimatland) it is overrun with Germans!
#7- Our terrace overlooks the ocean and mountains but you can't listen to the waves at night because we're locked up tight to deter buglars.
6- We're located in the center of town but the noise of the workers jackhammering the plaza across the street is deafening.
#5- We don't even need a clock but that's because the church belltower looms over us, chiming every 1/4 hour 24/7.
#4- It's less than a 5 minute walk to jump in the sea but even off the coast of Africa the Atlantic's still chilly.
#3- We have 150 satellite TV channels but the only one in English is CNN and that's if the wind is right.
#2- We are catching up on 7 years of Gilmore Girls but that's because we have no other American TV, WIFI or internet connection.
And the #1 reason- There are absolutely no cockroaches inside but that's because komoto dragon sized lizards patrol our patio.
