57.11 Tenerife: An Introduction prior to the main posting: A Hike Down to the Coast: Costa de Acentejo, our third find.

We don't think it's an exaggeration to mention that when on the trails, or paths we find, we are often in awe. In fact, the feeling occurs in most parts of the natural world. I won't be surprised should someone walk up to me and tell me to 'shut my mouth'. "Fella, you're gaping in wonder but that still won't prevent insects from flying inside." 

Our closest trail to Puerto del Cruz thus far, continues to charm.

When Jen leaves the forest, she's in for a surprise: No party for the bears, rather a Teide surprise.
Volcano and city.
Volcano and ocean.
Volcano, ocean and city.

Viewed from part-way down a trail: We ate brunch when we reached the village (See below for proof).
"'I Am Woman, I am Blessed': I see volcano, I breath ocean, I view city, I hear breakers, I delight in mountains, I watch waterfalls, I feel dampness from clouds, I notice rich foilage, I sense miracles surrounding me. I am humbled and in awe; I give thanks to the Creator."

Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
