Did someone say “Tapas”?

The 1st full day of fall had arrived in Paris so it was time to head for a warmer climate.

We arrived at Aéroport de Paris-Orly quite early to catch our flight to Tenerife, Canary Island.

Many years ago I had researched the most temperate climate in the world and Tenerife in the Canary Islands was the answer. So, I told management at work that if they ever opened a store there I would be willing to move there, sight unseen.

Once we had decided to go to Paris, I started checking out inexpensive trips to take from there and Tenerife was in the running to check out.

Lucille and Curtis had never been and Curtis was interested in going so, he booked us flights and accommodations for 4 days.

Hola

Curtis had decided to get a rental car and luckily he gets a deal through work.

We piled into the car and headed to our apartments.

Soon we were checking into Apartamentos Parque Carolina to drop off our stuff and we went looking for food.

Lucille found Flicks Bar listed as being really close and we followed her to find it. Since she isn’t all that great at reading her phone map, we were soon going the wrong way and ended up at Tapas Harry’s Place. It was a pretty cool view but they weren’t serving food yet.

We headed back to find Flicks. We were almost there when we saw an older couple on the deck of their apartment and asked about the bar. They told us it had closed down about 3 weeks ago. I still walked down the path to take a couple photos as I was there anyway.

It was too bad the place was closed because it would of been a great place to sit and have lunch.

So Curtis pulled out his phone to find food and soon we were walking northwest to see what we could find.

We saw a few places but the name Lizzie’s Bistro jumped out at us and we decided to give it a try.

The thing that jumps out at you at Lizzie’s is the drink menu of 64 cocktails.

Looked like a challenging menu to try them all but we thought we should at least try and we each ordered something different.

The first round was good so we had a 2nd round with our food.

We stopped after 2 rounds so we could go check out the pool at our apartments.

The listing for the apartment stated it had an ocean view and to be fair, it was accurate.

With swim time over, it was time to go and find supper. So back to Lizzie’s to add more drinks to our list.

It was karaoke night and there were a few talented singers to entertain us.

With 2 more rounds under our belt, we headed back to our apartments the same way we had walked earlier in the day. Curtis found the shutter button assembly from Lynda’s camera on a sidewalk. We had found it broken when we were getting ready to go for supper and I guessed it probably had gotten jammed up against something she was carrying and it popped off somewhere along our walk.

The camera would focus with the button but it wouldn’t take a photo so I guess it’s her cell phone for the rest of the trip as need be.

Got about 15.5 k in steps today so getting back on track anyway.
