We spent the afternoon wandering around Puerto de la Cruz catching up with each other's lives.Sue who hates having her picture taken was quick.........
but I made her settle down for this one!
We had a lovely, long, leisurely dinner on our terrace sharing lots of laughs.
Saturday morning Sue left early to catch her flight for Madrid. I was having a coffee on the terrace and was able to wave good-bye as she hopped into her cab. 
Saturday was a little overcast and misty at times, but we went up to the town of Orotava to wander the streets anyway. There are beautiful old buildings, gardens and shops where you can see the lace making process. Of course we shopped!!!!!
We wandered around until we got hungry and then started looking for some interesting place to eat. It wasn't too hard to come up with the idea of driving to El monesterio. Sue, Jim and I had been there earlier in the week and had a fabulous meal of freshly grilled fish (cherne), wrinkled potatoes with mojo sauce and wine. The chef remembered that we had been there several days earlier and recommended that we have the sama this time. Another fabulous meal! We walked around the grounds looking at the old buildings, interesting garden and roosters!!! They are all over the place and didn't mind posing for a picture now and again.
Tapas and cava rounded out the evening . We made plans to meet Sunday morning to go to the Botanical Gardens.
Cheers!

Later on Saturday morning at the Hotel Monopol, we met this woman putting out the fresh flowers that welcome the guests. She told Debra and I that she has been doing this every morning for the last 20 years. What a lovely way to say welcome!
