The Tenerife Days


13 May 2008

I am sitting on this balcony watching the people go by, listening to the falling water in mini cascades (you cannot pretend not to hear this), listening to some news in Spanish, looking at the giant volcanic mount/pile of stones and thinking what tomorrow will bring.

Palm trees, sun, happy people, smiling faces, Spanish, English, almost anything at our disposal. It’s like a dream, like heaven. But it’s not. I know that on Friday I will be looking forward to going home (NOOOOOT) with all the memories, the timid tan and the souvenirs. I’ve always dreamt of such a vacation, to spend my time as I do but I always knew (at the same time) that I won’t be able to go on living for long something like that without the people. Those people. The ones I love, miss and long to be with.

Today, we visited the Mount Tiede This was a great trip, we drove around the island and we (of course) bought souvenirs. 100% tourists. :) Besides, we went to the beach and I swam for the first time in my life in the Atlantic Ocean.

I was sun burnt to that extent that I ‘m not even sure if this is the correct date…. But I checked it quickly in my mind. I think it is. :)

Today was a full day as well. We went to give back the cars, we returned the keys, we paid and we went to the 9 o’clock meeting – the team building. This happened in a conference room. All the 83 Capgemini participants were gathered there, asked to draw a map for their group and to find a name for it i.e. the group.
