Civilized Spanish eating habits


It's 10:04pm, we just got back from the grocery store and are getting ready for dinner. A "light" dinner consisting of several kinds of cheese, marinated anchovies (the fresh kind - yum), olives, octopus, salad, bread, ... all to be drowned with a few glasses of good wine. This is the normal dinner time. Then again we started lunch after 2:30, so it makes sense. Being here always reminds me of how much I enjoy the ritual of eating, something that is nearly inexistant back in the states. Then again I will probably put on 10 pounds before I get back. But I will be at peace with myself.

Today it's been rainy but this morning Edu and I went to see a the National Sculptures Museum. The highlight might have been this ancient creche from Naples, it was about 50 feet long, the photo you see here was just one small deatil. We then walked around in the downtown area, saw dozens of Storks sitting on top of the roof of the main cathedral. Tomorrow at Noon it's off to Madrid, then flying to Paris in the evening. Can't wait till I board that flight to Marrakech on Wednesday!
