Just a quick post to sum up the last couple of days here on beautiful Lanzarote. The Burnetts seem to be pulling rainy weather around with them, as they visited Gibraltar, Morocco, and now Lanzarote during an unusual wet period. Fortunately, this means they got to see Lanzarote covered with a beautiful green blanket. Unfortunately, this means they did not get to ride the camels around the volcanos. They still got to see a lot of cool, beautiful things. Like fog-steam, which is what Mel named the poor visibility they experienced while driving around the hot volcanos in the rain.
It’s Mel’s birthday today! She is going to spend it doing an offshore trip to Gran Canaria, so don’t worry if she doesn’t call you back, dear family. Mel will be back online Dec 20. She hopes the waves realize it’s her birthday.
Check out these pics!
The palms get tall here!
A nice view
Lanzarote is unusually green

Man likes things in neat rows
Tourism, and preservatives, have supplanted the salt industry

Fat boy party!
Nothing comes out of this guy alive
A little pop of green was needed
Like bugs, cacti, and fungi, all in one
Don’t sit on this!
This would make a good fencing material
The cactus fights its internal demons
Is it a cactus or a tree?
This could be the arm of an aging swamp creature
Like a bug and a plant mated
This one is perfect
The round ones are so cute!
Its DNA has a gene for making a helix. Meta.
Fish ask for food
We found the set for Dune!
Like a pineapple, only not
