I guess it's time for my post!

The Van Bruggen men, loading our rental car (would you believe looking for stuff?) - we're by the dunes in the north part of the Island - very nice!

Watch out Wes - there's a flying fossil coming to attack you - too late, but luckilly (for the fossil or for Wes, we're not sure, it missed!!!! Now we're in the south part of the Island - behind us is a long, sandy beach - the three of us went walking for a long time.

Mom, trying to "out-height" her lil' baby boy - check out the black sand - this was at an isolated community on the west side of the Island - there was a great walkway along the cliffs which led down into caves - a great afternoon while cruising around in our rental.

This is the view from a nearby hilltop of the resort community we stayed in - lots of development here - our apartment is located in the "Caleta Garden", near the top left-hand of the picture - can you make it out?

The view of the balcony of our apartment - our balcony overlooked the pool and lounge areas, which was in the middle of the "Caleta Garden" complex.

The Van Bruggen boys - what else - resting in their humble abode at the Caleta Gardens! This couch also doubled as Wes' bed.

Mom talking to one of the statutes in the nearby capital - she says it was the only way she could get a word in edgewise - come on, that's unbelievable - Wes and Dad (at least Dad!) aren't talkative at all!!!

Here we are, eating yet again - one of the many activities we could all agree on and "sink our teeth into" - this time it was a metre [yup!] long sausage with fries, dips and salad - this was in the capital.

Hey - who's that cool dude - must be a movie star! First day in Furteventura - we're at one of the many restaurants - where we shed much of our clothes (thankfully, not all, or else they would have thrown us out) and just soaked up the sun - WONDERFUL!!

Even Mom had to admit that this warm weather business was going to pretty nice afterall!

Made it to Furteventurea, the Canary Islands - Wes is a happy camper - he got to don the shades, and shed his winter clothing - he's still wearing pants in this picture (I hope, anyways!!) but they soon were replaced by shorts when we checked into our apartment - just a few minutes away from this restaurant.

Wes is a happy camper - first time in T-shirt

and sandals - when we get to our hotel-apartment,

the shorts will come on next
