Bring on the Bread

I sort of feel like all of my posts are about eating but i guess that is what interests me. So here we go. They serve bread with everything. You do not eat anything without bread. If you run out room on your plate, you just put it on the table cloth. It is crazy how much bread they eat. No one eats too many veggies but they do not hold back on the bread. All of the rolls are of the hard roll type. They are not afraid of Carbs which is very fun and everyone has a good time.

They are not afraid of the dishwasher either. After every course they take away all of the silverware and bring you new stuff. They also are very always want the right plate/bowl for the correct type of food. If you do not have the right one, or you just want to try a little bit of someone's food, they will bring a new one.

The craziest thing about food beside the long lunches is what time they eat. Everyone starts to eat dinner around 9 pm. But it is not uncommon to start eating around 10-11. So that is crazy, i have no idea what time everyone else goes to bed but if you have a meeting a 9 pm you really cannot do a lot after a 10 pm dinner. It does not seem that going out for dinner is as big a deal in the states but people do it. I think everyone walks to dinner because when you get out of dinner there is never anyone around. So that is odd because you see people at restaurants but they are not out on the roads so who knows. So there you go with the update on dinner, now in other news.
Yesterday was the first nice that I have had when i was at a Coke Battery it is unreal, how that works that if you go to a coke battery you will have bad weather. When we were there the awesome thing was that there was a school group that was taking a tour of the plant. How bummed out would you be if your teacher said you were going on a field trip tomorrow and then they said you were going to a coke battery. What a bummer. Today is my last full day here in Spain so i need to do everything that i need to do in the last day so it looks like i was here for a long time. We have not had a ton of time to do all of the little side things when you are a true tourist. I guess Oviedo is not a place that people like to talk about because there are no postcards in the town. I will not get turned away every place has a postcard about it, so we will find them. I also took some pictures yesterday so all is well, people will know that i am hear. I know we will be chatting soon and i look forward to hear from everyone. MORE TO COME.

Peace out.
