SUNRISE & SNOW DAY. GRAN CANARIA.

I THINK THIS WAS HANDS DOWN THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE! I WOKE UP EALRY IN THE MORNING AND WENT FOR A SWIM AND WATCHED THE SUN RISE! WHEN I ARRIVED HOME THE GUYS WERE HYPED BECAUSE WE FOUND OUT IT WAS SNOWING IN THE MOUNTAINS. IT HAS NOT SNOWED HERE IN OUR LIFE TIME!!!! DURING THE DAY IT HAS BEEN LIKE SUMMER 23-27 DEGREES. EVEN THIS DAY WAS HOT; SO WE RUSHED TO THE CLOSEST CAR HIRE COMPANY AND WERE ON OUR WAY TO PLAY IN THE SNOW. WE ALSO DECIDED THAT WE WOULD MAKE THE MOST OF THE DAY AND DRIVE A FULL LOOP AROUND THE ENTIRE ISLAND. LITTLE DID WE KNOW THAT PRETTY MUCH ALL THE ROADS WERE LONG CURVEY AND CLIFF SIDE WITH NO BARRIERS! ONE SLIP AT THE WHEEL AND WE WOULD SINK INTO THE DEEP BLUE ATLANTIC! AS WE DROVE UP THE MOUNTAIN WE WERE SURROUNDED BY LUSH GREEN PINE FORRESTS THE TEMPERATURE DROPPED SWIFTLY AS WE WEAVED OUR WAY UP THE MOUNTAIN!!! WHEN WE ARRIVED TO THE SNOW THE ENERGY WAS HIGH, AS FOR MANY OF THE PEOPLE THERE IT WAS THERE FIRST TIME TO SEE SNOW!!! PEOPLE WERE MAKING SNOW MANS, THERE WAS DONKEY RIDES AND WE WERE JUST BLOWN AWAY THAT WE WERE PLAYING IN THE SNOW IN GRAN CANARIA. I ACTUALLY ASKED SOMEONE IF IT SNOWS HERE A FEW DAYS EARLIER AND GOT SERIOUSLY LAUGHED AT! WE THEN CONTINUED NORTH AND VISITED THE BLACK CHURCH, SOME LITTLE TOWNS AND CAVE HOUSES! IVE ALWAYS DREAMED OF SEEING THE SUNRISE AND SET ON THE SAME DAY AND THIS DAY IT CAME TRUE. WE STOPPED IN A NICE LITTLE FISHING TOWN TO HAVE A QUICK SWIM AND TO WATCH THE SUNSET! SOME PEOPLE EVEN APPLAUDED WHEN THE SUN FINALLY SUNK INTO THE OCEAN IT WAS THAT BREATH TAKING! IN ONE OF THE LAST PHOTOS U CAN SEE SOME RUGGED CLIFF SIDES, WE PRETTY MUCH HAD TO WEAVE AROUND THESE THE WHOLE 150-200KMS BACK HOME TAKING US MUCH MUCH LONGER THEN WE THOUGHT. WHEN WE FINALY ARRIVED HOME WE WERE SO SO SO DEAD! MILES INSTANTLY FELL ASLEEP ! ! !
