I started this blog in 2007 with the intention of showing my Spanish friends what my American life is like...and it evolved into sharing with Americans what my life in Spain is about. I love my life!

bueno pinchos, malo camareru
The first time I visited this so called sideria I liked it. I ate grilled sardines fresh from the sea and my waiter , after discovering I was American wasted no time in proclaiming "Bush fucked you good, yes?" I felt an immediate fondness for this waiter as he talked. And Talked. And Talked....I did notice however that he refused to pour my sidra opting instead for a mechanical device saved for tourists. OK that irked me a little .... I don't pay taxes but I don't consider myself a tourist.
On my second visit here I noticed again that the locals were all drinking glasses of wine, but as I loooove sidra so much I ordered a bottle. Yet again I was given the stupid mechanical device shaped like a plastic apple and powered by a battery to squirt sidra into my glass. Unlike my last visit I now found him full of hot air, shit and himself. On a positive note..... this place has awesome pinchos and tapas! Unusual morsels like dates stuffed with almonds and wrapped in bacon. Mussels cooked a variety of ways, hot and cold seafood tidbits....This summer I do plan to patronize this bar again. I hope that the waiter in question has moved on to another vocation in life. No matter I guess there is an excellent chance I too will be drinking wine like the regulars.

Tio Manolo
My uncle Manolo. I love him so much! Manolo is always happy , always telling jokes (I never can understand them, but laugh anyway) Manolo loves to read the newspaper and has one hell of a time understanding my Spanish! Did I mention that I love him so much!!! I ALWAYS CRY when I have to say goodbye to him and tia Ludi. Te quiero tio & tia.

2009 It will be better
Hello again. I see from the date of my last post that it has been 4 months since my last. My husband is spending winter vacation in Asturias and called to tell me that my friends in Veguin want me to start posting again. I think I will change my format a bit, more photo's less words. Until I get around to that, here is a recent photo of my family at Thanksgiving. Minus my oldest son Ethan.
