Near the restaurant, Dad wanted to buy a volcanic mineral rock. So this picture is of him making a deal with the seller. the rock he bought is called Olivina, and is lava on the outside and colored glass on the inside.

Dad Haggling With Mineral Rock Dealer

After lunch we stopped a number of places, including a place where the view of the coastline was fantastic. I noticed again that tremendously beautiful aquamarine color of the water. Dad says it's the same color you see in the water on the coastlines of Acapulco and Cancun. These pictures are from there.

A Black Sand And Lava Coastline

Waves Crashing On The Rocks

A Seaside Hut Before The Waves

Then we stopped by a little roadside souvenir shop. The most remarkable thing about this shop is the giant cactus statue out front. Now it's true that there are lots of cactuses growing in the Canary Islands, as well as palm trees, geraniums, orchids, etc.. But why a giant cactus statue? I don't know. All I do know is that I had to have my picture taken in front of it ... hence, these pictures!
