How rude of them!
Maybe you could carry signs to put up on either side of your picnic spot .. "Road temporarily closed for Anderson Picnic. Please wait patiently." or "Via cerrada para El Almuerzo de los Anderson. Favor de esperar con paciencia."*
(Maybe this will encourage you to re-think towing me in a Bob Trailer on your next tour in exchange for a few ideas?)
*I have not spoken Spanish regularly for about 25 years, so this may/may not be correct.
Stunning!
5 years ago¡Sí! ¡Muchas Torres!
5 years agoWhichever s greater, of course. We each want full credit!
5 years agoOut of curiosity, are your ride stats (distance) based on your or Rachaels distances?
5 years agoIberico was a lazy shorthand for jamón ibérico, or Iberian pig. Also known as black pig, or acorn fed black pig, the type you see grazing under the oak trees on the dehesas here. One of my favorite dishes here - Rachael keeps commenting that we’re stuck in a rut, as she often orders salmon, and I often order iberico.
No, we didn’t try natas. We don’t stop in many pastry stops actually, because Rachael likes to preserve her calorie budget for other things she prefers more, and I was apparently born missing my sweet tooth - which I attribute to my also missing senses of taste and smell.
Here is a topic that is coming late, since Portugal is now so far behind you. We are in Montreal right now, where among the many multi-ethnic treats is the Portugese custard tart - Natas , or "pastel de nata". There are websites waxing ecstatic about which are the best bakeries for natas. Our son favours "Romados" which is a location mainly known for Portugese BBQ chicken. So belatedly, did you run into natas? And is "iberico" in the photo above, chicken? If yes, would you call it BBQ chicken?
Obrigado
Worth the stop to take out the camera .. beautiful!
5 years agoA fashionable field!
5 years agoAnd all wearing helmets, which is really unusual here. And all about the same age, except for a pair of chaperones. They’re a group of maybe 50 kids, possibly on a school field trip.
5 years agoAnd almost all on identical bikes! I count 13 white, 3 red-and-white polka dot (otherwise same as the white ones), plus 3 black bikes of slightly different shape.
5 years agoRemarkable! Fingers crossed for you that there is more good weather ahead to see you through!
5 years agoThanks so much, Jen. I was hoping to describe enough about the performance that it would breathe it back to life for us years from now. Better of course would be to just come back some year, see it again, and park ourselves here For a good long spell.
5 years agoYou saw the same show! Wasn’t that a remarkable experience though? I’d come back to seville just to see it all over again.
I don’t know that I’d come back to Andalucia just yet though. Maybe wait a month or five. You were here at the perfect time. The temperature dropped ten degrees last night, and it looks like the rainy season arrives in a few days.
I'd say the perfect reflection compensates for any lighting deficiencies.
5 years agoAnother handsome bird!
