Orientation

My orientation in the North of Spain has been extremely helpful in immersing me in the Spanish way of life. (None of which pertain to my acquisition of Spanish.)

First, Spanish wine is very cheap. Very Very Cheap. Instead of going to dinner one night, a group of us decided to go to a deli in Comillas to buy some food and have a picnic of sorts on the beach. It was on this occasion that I noticed a rather large wine selection and it was upon this observation that I realized the 1.35€ bottle of red Spanish wine would compliment my 19.99€ per kilo manchego cheese. I suppose I figured the expensive cheese and the cheap wine would end up canceling each other out. I must note that the manchego was the best I´ve ever had. The round of manchego was covered with rosemary. I don´t think you´ll find something like that back in the states.

Well, my minutes are about to run out at the internet cafe. To be continued tomorrow.
