2 good things happened today

Order...is something we haven't had much of since we stepped off the airplane in August.  Daily tasks that we take for granted in the states take much longer here.  People aren't necessarily courteous, not that they're mean, they just aren't courteous.  If you are waiting in line and you don't speak up or make yourself known, everyone (young & old) will cut in front of you.  This was a difficult concept for me to get thru my head.  I knew it was like that before I got here, but being faced with it and having adults cut in front of me in line just blows me away...makes me feel transported back into elementary school.

Anyway, today was a very special day.  I came across my first ticket taker!!  I just couldn't believe myself!  I wanted to shout, "Order!  We have an orderly line over here people!"  Amazing!  Immediately I knew I loved the man behind the counter.  He immediately received my business and I grabbed myself a ticket!!



Tapas...I love these pimientos rojos.  They are a simple pleasure, but I enjoyed them today for lunch and I can't wait to learn how to prepare them properly......trust me on this one, they are truly delicious!  A baguette, drizzle of olive oil and these puppies on top....ooohhhhh!

yep...so good we devoured them all!
