Playing catch up

Due to a rash of illnesses in the family the blog has been neglected of late, so we will be playing catch up.  Over the weekend was Ali's birthday, and we went for  dinner and a movie.  We had an amazing dinner of tapas at La Azotea, which is our favorite restaurant in Sevilla.  By American standards this restaurant is tiny.  We ate bellied-up to the bar while standing.  People think nothing of eating their entire dinner while standing at a bar, a concept that I doubt would fly in the U.S.  I resisted at first, but was quickly assimilated into the concept.  After dinner, we went to the one movie theater here that shows movies in their original language with Spanish subtitles.  We saw "Carnage" and found it pretty interesting.  In Spanish they call this movie "Un Dios Salvaje" or "A Savage God".  The movie theaters in Spain are just like the U.S., except crappier. :)

  2. Actually, the Gigante looks somewhat modest compared to the bucket of popcorn complete with multi-pump, cascading butterfalls and gallon sized high fructose dream available at the megaplexes over here. Tell them it's time to join the food carnival! (-;
