Day 5 of the cruise - Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain Sunday, August 7, 2022

Another of the Canary Islands with most of the shops closed on Sunday. We walked to the Africa Market, an outdoor market with flowers, food, fish and souvenirs.

We made another stop at the modern art museum, which was free to tour. My guess is on Sundays it is free. Dianne toured the art I sat and read my book on finances.

The gift store was beautiful and Dianne purchased a 4 Euro souvenir, a piece of wood to hold my cell phone upright. On it were the words: Keep Calm and Lean on Me.

On the cruise ship we have met some great people; an IT guy from Texas and we discussed the investments he had for retirement, how he wanted them repositioned, what he was earning, and how he might better deploy those assets. He was working with two money managers and gave them each the same amount to money to see who does better. And he is the funniest man my wife and I ever met.

We met a man who was the attaché to the U.S. in France for a decade. He is an American who was born in France and obviously speaks fluent French.

So many interesting people and opportunities for business; we are all similar in age and have similar goals and aspirations and can pay for the services we want.
