My guitar

I already have a GUITAR!!!

You know it is my dream to learn playing a guitar, but till now I didn’t have. So when I came here in the paradise I decided that there is nothing impossible and I will make this dream come true. So I started to search for a guitar second hand. It is cheap and good for very beginners and as I can’t bring it back home it is pointless to buy a new one. I checked all of the music shops and second hand shops in the region but everything there was too expensive for me. That’s why I started to search in internet. I found one good offer but due to the business I had to wait till tomorrow to go in another part of the Island to can get this guitar.

Yesterday we had a hiking programme which finished on the beach – amazing, but I will tell you in another post. So on this activity came one of the new volunteers of AURI. We sit together in the bus going to the mountain and talking for many different things. It came out that she is our neighbor. And before we go out of the bus I said that I’m going to buy a second hand guitar because I really want to learn it. And this girl, this angel who is leaving here in the paradise, my new best friend Paula, said that she has a guitar that is not using and can lend it to me till I’m here.

Can you believe it? I couldn’t! Two days before I go to buy the guitar that I’m dreaming for she just appeared and lend me hers. I still can’t believe how lucky I am. I’m starting to think that I’m born under lucky star! If this is a dream I really don’t want to wake up!

This evening Paula gave me the guitar! I can’t express with words how happy I am. I feel I can fly. So of course I already started to learn – after one hour tuning the guitar (pour neighbors) and some training I already can play one very small part of Red Hot Chili Peppers’ song.

The greatest thing is that my sweet girls see how happy I am and stoically endure my strumming. Thank you girls – I love you so much!

Autumn in the paradise

Hola,

It is already an autumn here in the paradise. Just for one night the weather changed. On the previous day was really shiny and perfect and in the morning surprise it was more than raining it was a real storm. The temperature wasn’t so lower but due to the big present of humidity here it feels worst.

Yes so now you are just going out in the morning with jacket and umbrella at noon you need your shorts and in the evening again the jacket – I’m feeling like in Bulgaria, just normal autumn.

But I’m not in Bulgaria. I’m in the paradise. Here in La Laguna is the rainier and maybe one of the colder places in the Island. But only 15 minutes from here is Santa Cruz where is 5-10 degrees warmer. And in the South of the Island it is always summer.

So this was the yesterday’s case – We woke up and it was raining, but we went to the beach. Pass through Santa Cruz where started to rain and went with bus from the other side of the mountain – still in the North part of Tenerife. In the mountain there was a storm and we were wondering where the hell we are going – beach? But when we went down from the mountain in front of us it was the greatest beach I saw so far on the Island.

We were on the beach “Playa del Roque” and it was cloudy, but warm and with big waves. We were jumping in the waves couple of hours like a 6 years old children, it was so great. After this we took great pictures and go to wait for the bus in the bar.

And there was the perfect final of our day – group of old people just have a meeting there with their guitars and other instruments to play an old and typical music for the Canary Islands. You know how much I love this music.

I’m still searching to buy a guitar and I hope it will be soon because I’m looking forward to learn how to play a Spanish acoustic guitar.
