Saturday was an absolutely amazing day! Me and my new friend Daniel (aka D.) took a serious adventure into the mountains of Tenerife. Basically we took a bus into the mountains and just jumped off at a random stop kinda in the middle of no where! It was a-mazing. We just walked down this little road absorbing the breath taking views.

The bus ride there and back was a little insane because we were just getting higher and higher into the mountains and the road we were on was so tiny. It looked like the bus wasn't going to make it around some of those turns, and if you look down its straight cliff, there is no shoulder on the road just the side of a mountain! A couple times I thought I was going to lose my stomach. I didn't.

Walking through the mountains with my backpack and camera I really felt like an adventurer, lost in the wilderness type thing (We weren't lost though). There were little villages spread out through the mountains. Thankfully we jumped off the bus not far from one little village, I don't remember the name (it started with a T lol). The village had a cute little restaurant/ bar area. We were able to get something to drink here and some olives. Sitting outside surrounded by mountains and some of the most intriguing wilderness I've ever seen was surreal. I just kept thinking, "are we really here? like seriously?" lol :)

The most amazing-est olives EVER! No really they were soooo fresh

D's food. It was some kind of omelet w/ a mini salad

I have to admit though it was kind of scary being an adventurer because we didn't know if the bus was going to come back to the bus stop we ended up at and no one spoke English (imagine that) and we don't speak Spanish (oops) so we just weren't to sure. It was totally cool and a little funny until the sun started going down, I got cold and then the dogs started howling. Scary movie type stuff lol. We figured if worse came to worse we could hitch hike right?

D hitchin a ride lol

The one thing I will always remember about being up there is the feeling of calm quietness that washes over you with every deep breath. Even though there were some cars and a few people it still seemed so quiet up there. People were relaxed and carefree. It seemed like a place were time stands still and everything is touched with beauty that is everlasting. It is very relaxing and made me feel like anything is possible.
