weekend #7 photos
Fuerteventura, Canaries, Spain part 2.
First part here.
Sun’s shining!
Yesterday it was like summer,
and it looks the same right now.
It’s my birthday today – last night I danced myself one year older! 
Didn’t hurt at all!
do you like fishing…
or surfing or taking your dog for a walk…
or perhaps you like more SSS flower power…
or would you like to watch peaceful harbor life in the morning…
What would you like to do?
I know what I want to do – go out and enjoy the sun!
Next week I’ll be back at home in Helsinki…

weekend #6 photos from Fuerteventura, Canaries, Spain
This was my balcony view for two mornings…
now it’s like this.
This is my SSS picture. More shadows than light?
Coffee maker in 4 star hotel in year 2012!
I got this today…from the travel agency!
First time in my life on vacation I had to this too…
to melt and dry the freezer!
Kids rehearsing for the carnival held in early March…

Heading to the pier, morning walk…
Atlantic ocean today 10.2.2012 at noon.
It was too windy and cold to really enjoy the sun.
Scarecrows against pigeons, what a clever idea.
Would be a good idea for Cairo and Casablanca balconies too!!!
He’s not the owner of this car.
This guy was trying to rob it but couldn’t get the door open.
How do I know?
The car has stickers of the Irish pub. I popped in and asked if they knew this guy.
Nope.
Now they have three pics of this guy, if needed in a future…hopefully not!

makroviikko/macro week challenge #46
teema / theme: kolmio / triangle
Terveiset Fuerteventurasta Kanarialta!
On ollut pilvistä, tuulista ja vähän vettäkin on ripotellut,
joten ehdin hyvin vastata kolmio-haasteeseen
ennen kuin yritän vielä rannalle – jos ei muuta niin saamaan raitista meri-ilmaa.
Haasteen kolmiot on pöytäpuhelimen viestivalon selitysmerkki
eli ‘sinulle on viesti’-merkki.
Hassua sikäli, että ei ole mitään ohjeita miten viestin saa purettua.
Huoneessa ei ole minkäänlaista puhelinluetteloa,
ei numeroa respaan tai minnekkään muuallekaan.
Ovessa on kyllä pelastustiekartta mutta missään ei ole numeroa mihin pitäisi soittaa
jos vaikka havaitsee tulipalon tai joku on loukkaantunut.
Ja tämän pitäisi olla neljän tähden hotelli!
Matkanjärjestän monisteessa respan numero on…
Hasta la vista!
Greetings from Fuerteventura, Canaries, Spain!
It’s been cloudy and windy. We got even a few drops of rain.
I’ll tell you more about my adventure at the weekend…and show a couple of photos.
Soon I’ll go to the beach – if the sun’s not there, I’ll get fresh Atlantic air, hasta la vista!

Hola everybody!
We had a great time in Madrid!
The city is bigger and got more metro lines than 1997-99 when we lived there.
Food, wine, public transportation – everything is cheaper than in Finland!
We have two main central corporations
Kesko Corporation “You name it, Kesko sells it” and SOK Corporation.
We need more competition and cheaper prices in Finland!
We had little rain, little fog, little sun and little wind – mainly grey +12 C /54 F.
Last day was the only sunny day…
More pics from Madrid at the weekend,
like fashion in paper and uno de 50!

photos of the weekend #32 / steps and views…
Our Aussie guests left last night.
Now our home is empty and quiet…
No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel
until he comes home
and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.

…and one in shade watching
Photo of the weekend #31 / men at work…and one in shade watching!
We’ve had a little man, 2,5 yrs, visiting and I’ve been very busy.
I didn’t remember how hard it
is to have a child that age! But a lot of fun!!!
He’s joining his family tomorrow.
We’ll be on the road – I’ll visit your blogs late Sunday
evening or Monday morning.
