some thoughts on Spain
Just got back from a meal of pasta and gelato. Best gelato ever.
We made it to Valencia with little trouble. Our hotel is not as shi shi as the ones in Barcelona, but is pretty nice.
It's true, things shut down here in late afternoon. Restaurants don't really start supper until 8 pm.
Lots of people walk their dogs in the evening and I am surprised at how many people have them here, since this area is all apartments.
Many restaurants have a ham holder thingie. A large ham with hoof still on it, sits waiting to be sliced.
Lots of scooters, which makes a lot of sense here. Driving would not be enjoyable, but people drive well,I don't worry about being hit.
Everyone is wearing scarves, except us.
We were in a café, having coffee and a big story was the snow in Madrid. There was at least a centimeter.
The coffee is the best I've had.
Richard had hot chocolate, and it was like melted chocolate. If Spanish people come to North America, they must be appalled at the watery stuff we have.
We've seen a few nuns in habits and some priests.

Have you used your translator yet.
No,we just muddle through. People speak a lot of English here, and we use the Spanish we learned on sesame street. It seems to work!
The hoof sounds scary.
We went past a supply store, where there was a giant picture of ham with hoof attached.
