I am wondering why people who experience paranormal happenings do not come forward more often. Because society stamps them with an unpleasant label? Maybe the reaction from the family – because my take on it is that in most cases, the family history or specific sensitivities or an extra inherited sense get them closer to the (otherwise) unseen phenomena. Or, maybe, because they think it is just a chemistry in the brain. Considering what I had to endure, it must be all around us. Welcome to my weird life where dreams and day-to-day activities had the same creatures interacting with me. |
Canary Islands - 2006
We visited two islands, Tenerife and Gran Canaria. The Canary Islands were attractive for many reasons: the ocean and high mountains. We enjoyed the food and what we could prepare in our resort room from local products. It was clean all over the place.
The entertainment was as we liked it: music and places to dance.

Tenerife is dominated by the Teide mountain (at 3,715 m (12,188 ft)).
The plateau offers superb trails at 2,190 m (7,190 ft) above sea level.
Near our resort in Puerto de la Cruz Tenerife (above are pictures from our room), there were chic restaurants with music, and guests could dance! Also, a band came to play in our resort, and we danced in the tiny space in front of the stage. I am not sure that place was for dancing, but the band was happy to see us and encouraged us to keep going.
Some other time, I remember once in a restaurant with a dancing floor. There were many retirees enjoying their time there. After I returned from the washroom, my wife already had two dance invitations. I told her she should accept the invitation if she wants to dance with somebody other than me. It was too late; those guys there had already flagged her as someone refusing invitations.

In Gran Canaria the entertainment was different.
We rented a car. A not-so-easy mountain drive trip led us to the “Valley of the Thousand Palms,” where we visited the village of Fataga.
From the Canary Island history site:
“A good 2000 years ago, Gran Canaria was home to the Guanche natives. The conquest of the island by the Castilles started in 1478 and ended on 1483 when Guayarmina Semidán, the queen of Gran Canaria, surrendered. At the turn of the 16th century, in and around the ravines of Fataga then known as Adfatagad, many of the final battles between the Guanches and the Spaniards took place.”

It was April, but the beaches were busy.

“Author Eliade Moldovan has crafted a philosophically challenging meditation on the perils of fundamentalism, presenting a cautionary tale of a society governed by religious intolerance…The Village is a brave novel that successfully presents its case for a more liberal society. - Blueink Reviews
