I've been showing an international group of journalists around La Palma for the tourist board. So I took them to all the most beautiful parts of the beautiful island, and we ate in the best restaurants, and we had good conversations and I got paid for it.
But then I suppose that somebody has to do it.
On Saturday we watched the sunset from the dome of the enormous Gran Telescopio Canarias at the Roque de Los Muchachos observatory. As usual, it was spectacular to watch the sun set into the sea of clouds beneath us.
Even the people and their shadows looked amazing.
Then we went up to the Roque itself where we saw the twilight and Venus (on the right) through the Muchachos themselves. ("Muchachos" is Spanish for "young men". With a lot of imagination the rock formation looks like a group of people.)

Gosh what a hard life you have! (I know that you work very hard and are madly busy - glad some of that work is also very rewarding)
