The next, Bego planned a trip to the volcano, Teide. I was designated the driver of her dad’s car and I nervously got in the manual car parked on a slope with her dad watching. I eased off the clutch and luckily the car didn’t stall even though I anticipated it since I had not driven in a while. We were off.
The drive was beautiful. The twisty paved roads were a cinch to drive on and every few kilometers Bego would have us pullover and look at something spectacular.
Walking around the lava beds near the top of the mountain. It looked just like a scene out of planet of the apes.
Checking out the geological explanation for La Piedra de la Rosa pictured below. It was pretty cool.
Here we were going up getting a view from the base of the volcano.
Right in with all of the lava beds.
On top of the mountain having a beer in the freezing cold.
