Ken's Second Day at Work

Ken reports to me when he left  to go to work that the bus never showed up so he had to take a taxi.  He didn't know if he was too early or too late but interestingly enough the taxi today only cost 11 Euros whereby the taxi yesterday cost him 25 Euros!  Guess they can charge whatever they want!  He had a good day but a very busy one.  He was very tired when he got home from work and it was too hot to go for our evening walk so we took a much needed nap for a couple of hours.  Everyone here eats late in the evening anyway so we decided to do things the Spanish way.

Decided to try another place with "tapas"for our evening meal - still not impressed!  Choose a small plate of Cod, Shrimp, and Ham/Cheese/BreadSticks!  Cod was as tough as shoe leather - any Cod I have had is flaky and soft.  Shrimp were OK but once again everything is cooked in Olive Oil and LOTS of it.  They were swimming in the dish!  The cured Ham was extremely salty and very greasy, cheese was OK and bread sticks were very oily.  Yes, oily bread sticks - just leave them plain please.  Perhaps we will have to ask that next time.
