hello everyone. we finally arrived in the canary islands this afternoon after a long day of travel. we actually left the night before and first stopped in madrid, where we had a long layover. fortunately, our staff reserved an entire business lounge w/ refreshments at the airport for us to wait and rest in. thank you all for that!the weather in santa cruz was beautiful. i wouldn't say it was warm but it's certainly a welcome change to all the cold weather we've been having back home. on the bus ride from the airport to the hotel, the views of the ocean were breathtaking. hope we can play a concert here during the summer.....
dinner was provided for all of us at the hotel and it was incredible. there was so much food but the highlight had to be the huge pans of paella, one of Spain's national dishes. i think we all ate to our heart's content. it was a wonderful first meal to kick off this tour.
afterwards, some people just went to bed while many of us congregated in the lobby where we could get wireless internet to email back home. quite a few of us (myself included) could also be seen talking to our computer screens as we spoke w/ loved ones via skype. i have to say i am constantly amazed by technology.
tomorrow is a free day and i should probably practice, but would also like to walk along the beach. i hope to do both.
