Tasty Comida

Though Spain was not a planned stop on our adventure, the food and wine were plentiful and we enjoyed both thoroughly.  Everywhere we went, we had tasty food and we even learned about authentic sangria - to be enjoyed and made on the boat at a later date.  The most difficult part of eating in Spain was the time at which dinner was served...but more about that in another post.

Paella for two
Authentic sangria with vino tinto (red wine), ice cubes, and a variety of fresh cut fruit - strawberries, oranges, grapefruit and limes
A menu for two included pudding and tiramisu
Galicia dark chocolate
In Santiago de Compostelo we enjoyed tortillas espana (more like hash brown casserole) and croquettes (breaded mashed potatoes)
Pappas Bravas - Diced potatoes, baked with a "fry sauce" 
These ice cream cones were enough to make us love Spain.  The cones were dipped in chocolate and then the scoops were huge - included two different flavors (mine was peanut butter in one and almond in the other) - all for 2 Euro each.
Tortilla Espagna - the hashbrown casserole.  I found it in the grocery store and made it for breakfast on the passage to Ireland (on a calm-er morning)

Don't know anyone who crams as much "living" into life!! You two seriously are living the dream! Thanks for your fun posts, I live vicariously through your words and pictures.
