Las Islas Canarias


Tenerife, the best Canary Island of them all. Thank you bank holiday.
These boots are made for drinkin'

If Zoo won't suffice, put Monkey Park around it.


Note to self: the water may feel good, but there is a huge crocodile right there.


Extreme Close-up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That damn monkey is drinking my beer!
Cutest buggers ever.


Say "Cheese" and scare Havey to death.

Chimpanzees always get what they want.

Don't even really know what to say here. I knew monkeys swung from branches, but I didn't know they were full-fledged swingers.


Monkeys have no sense of space.

Out of nowhere. Had to have my camera ready.



Goes in for the tail grab......and he's got it.

First I get mooned by a dolphin, then a monkey slapped me.

Staring contest, you, me. Now.


Gotta represent. LTS. Gangsta.


Boots!!!!!!!!!!! You've come to the Canary Islands.


Um....Mike. There is a cat in our room. Long lost brother my cat Boots. Only this cat barked.

Said in the Unsolved Mysteries Guy voice....
"Little did she know, she had Luke's first initial on her bum."
Our beloved balcony at dusk.


Linekers......hen party central.
Young man....there's no need to feel down. Unless you are at Linekers and don't enjoy wedding reception songs and it's 4 in the morning.


Put your left arm in....
Aqualand. Where Luke beat Havey on all the slides. Even though he has 3 stone on me. Where the dolphins jumped, and where the big slide fall thing almost claimed the lives of both of us.

"Waterparks are better with Beers and Hats" -Havey

Nothing compliments a sunburn like a litre of beer and a free hat that comes with it.

First time I've ever been mooned by a dolphin.

The second dolphin had a hangover.

Champangria de Tenerife. Que hermosa.


South Tenerife. Clear day. 85 degrees. Beautiful.

My first honeymoon.

One of the coolest places in Tenerife. The Banana Club, where Lufka, the PR lady, invited us in every day. On our last night there we decded to take her up on her offer. We were pleasantly amazed at the ambiance, food, drink, music, and dancing.

Flamenco dancing at its finest. Sangria tastes a lot better when people are dancing.

Flamenco lady dancer giving me the eyes.


Pre-karaoke good ole fashion Irish men drinking.
O'Brien, Coleman, Schnoebelen rockin' out.

Miles Coleman does a mean Don McLean


Luke and Mack at the Globe theater. The Bard of Stratford on Avon was really wet.

Iceland is not Ice, Iceland is molten rock.

Nothing like a bunch of pictures with your friends in front of stuff.

Bad ass mothers.

Havey jumps and Luke tackles. "Not on the artwork Havey, not on the artwork."

Iceland.

Iceland, where they don't pick the donuts until they are really big.
If you take a bus to the rental car place and miss your stop by about 4 miles. Just get off the bus and walk along the busy highway. Just like Mom told me.

If you go to Iceland, you have to go here....


The Blue Lagoon. To sum it up in 100 words or less....
(A model doing a photo shoot not wearing enough clothes, saunas, steam cave, mud bath, waterfall massage, old balls, hot dogs, blue water, steam geyser,

Best waterfall ever. Screw that one in NY.

One of those Discovery Channel places.
Breathing smoke at the Blue Lagoon.

This guy brought the term "bus boy", to a whole other level.

Put you hands in the air, holla batar, holla batar!
Bad ass manhole cover.

After I climbed up this mountain, the car was really far away.


Big cold metal sculpture. Refreshing ocean breeze.

Totally unintentional shot. Rock stacking field. Ocean. North Face fleece.


Nothing like a little molten lava. Iceland, ice. Ha.

When in Iceland, do as the Icelandic, eat fish. But word to the wise, they have a food typical to the island. Rotten shark. We were told by a lady at a coffee shop to try this shark at a market. Suffice to say, rotten shark is an acquired taste.
And my acquisition capabilities are lacking.

It's just better if you don't park your car here. Because hard telling what will happen.

Throwback He-man.

Just call Gunnar Gunnarsson. For what I'm not sure. You can also catch Gunnar on ESPN replays of the 1995 World Strongest Man Contest.

Another infamous Luke mallard close-up.
