Adventures!

Still in Vigo but heading to Ponteverda tomorrow!
First of all I just have to wonder out loud what the deal is with tuna and pickled asparagus??  Last night I ordered a salad.  According to the menu it was supposed to have tomato, lettuce, egg, carrots, apples and onion.  This was the most normal salad on the menu.  Unfortunatly, when I received my salad I discovered that the sneaky chef added a whole freakin' can of tuna and a big long pickled asparagus!  Fine.  I ate it. (well... except the asparagus cause it was kinda gross...)  THEN, this afternoon, we had breakfast (because we woke up at eleven again) and I ordered a sandwich that was basically a wierd BLT sandwich.  When I took my first bite, to my dismay, there was... (you guessed it) tuna and pickled asparagus.  WTF?  Both times they added it and both times it was not on the list of ingredients in the menu!  This time I picked it off because there is a time and place for tuna, which does not include interfering with a BLT sandwich.
Anyway... Enough of that!  On recommendation by Evan, I will save an entire post in the future to the driving and parking habits here, so look out for that in the future.  Instead, I will tell you about our trip to the beach.  In an effort to be more adventurous, we decided to walk to the beach, which, even though we are only three blocks away from the ocean, was supposedly an hour's walk away.  Turns out it was two hours but who's counting?  Anyway, it felt great to walk along the beach(water is colder then a pool but not as cold as California) and lay on the sand (which was amazing and soft by the way) while Evan played in the ocean for an hour or so (I forgot my bathing suit).  The walk back took a little less time since we knew where we were going.  But back to the beach... you know how there are nude beaches in Europe?  Well it turns out you don't have to find a special 'nude' beach to get the experience. ...!... Actually it wasn't that bad... but seriously!  The top half of a woman's bathing suit is not a necessity but an option over here.
Other news... siestas are in effect even this far north.  Stores are closed for three hours during the afternoon and open until 9ish or later.  There are lots people walking around even at 10pm which is kind of cool and fun to be a part of.
Things are, for the most part, cheaper here (like a one liter bottle of water for a quarter (counting the exchange).  And I just tried a Kit Kat bar, ready to be disappointed (because in the states Kit Kat's taste like cardboard), but it is actually better!  Mmmm... European chocolate...
I would love to fill you in on more interesting facts but i gotta go cause my handsome interpreter wants the lap top...

Oh yeah... here is a picture I took at the beach, its not very good because it is so humid that it's hazy.
