November 8 brings us to the Canary Island. The Canary Islands are located off the coast of Africa.
The first island we visited was Lanzarote. I decided a couple of days earlier to take a ship tour when we got to port. Our agenda was a bus ride from the harbor at Arrecife to the center of the island so we could see the volcano, and also to take a camel ride (!!).

Typical white buildings. They endeavor to keep the history of the island alive by adhering to a strict building code, including the color of the buildings (white) and the height (I think 3 stories is the maximum). This is an effort to prevent the island from becoming nothing but high-rise tourist hotels, etc. Excellent idea!
