The story behind this church is nearly as wonderful as the building itself is today, and it's amazing that it's been restored at all considering the effort it must have been to undo all the whitewashing and plastering it had when the Turks invaded! Inside the number of relics and bits of art is very impressive indeed.

The Black Pyramids are located in the Pirámides de Güímar Ethnographic Park are open every day from 9:30 AM until 6:00 PM. These lovely stone architectures from the past are built in steps, and the stones appear black or blackened because they were actually built from lava. They are rather well preserved. The whole landscape in the area is volcanic. Prices for tourist 12 and older are € 9.75 and € 5.00 for those younger. Residents are charges about 30% less for their tickets. Gulmar is a town in the district of Chacona on the southeastern or south central side of the island of Tenerife. These pyramids are likely to have been there since the 1800's and a by-product of the island's agricultural methods. Many believe the structures are more important than simple agricultural by-products due to the neat placement of the stones and the flat surfaces laid all around each one.

This beautiful garden was the last work for artist Cesar Manrique and it was completed in 1991. His intention was not educational, but aesthetic and he used the semiburied volcanic monoliths for the main sculptures of the garden. Located in the area of Mala and Guatiza, the garden has about 10,000 different types of cactus and is a hot tourist site. Relax, visit the gift shop and have a terrace lunch, all while taking in the beauty of this restored volcanic quarry.

When visiting Frankfurt during a summer in college, my one lit professor made me promise that I would go visit the Goethe House during my trip. Not wanting to annoy a teacher, I went, and while I will never be a fan of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, it was very interesting to see how the affluent Germans lived in the 18th century.
