Our Lady of Africa Market

At the Mercado de Nuestra Señora de Africa (Our Lady of Africa Market) we buy some chicken. And a bag full of fruit and veggies: pumpkin, "green-prickely-round-somethings", limes, mangos, looks-like-a-tomato-but-it´s-sweet", and other such items.

To help us out in eating all this we invite Swedish "Eos" over. Ann Marie and Mikal are willing to help us out. The weather´s turned windy, gusting about 30 knots in the marina, so we eat down in the saloon. Soon there's a hot skillet full of colorful food: yellow, curry chicken, orange pumpkin and green christophenes. And safron-yellow spanish rice. Of course, as always. saving electricity, we eat by tea-candle light. And by candle-light you can't see the colors. Except the ruby red wine.

Outside the masts whistle, the ropes creak in the dark, moonless harbour. Inside it´s cosy and warm and we're enjoying a great meal in the good company of the "Eos" crew, on our last evening in Tenerife.
