Tuesday, May 12

I roamed around, something I enjoy doing, and I came across El Tabanco de Sevilla.

A British couple we had been chatting with while shopping on Saturday had told us about this place.  They'd found it last week and said they went back for a 2nd night in a row because it was so enjoyable.  On Wednesday-Sunday nights, starting at around 10/10:30, there is free flamenco dancing.  They said it felt more authentic than at other places.  And all you need to do to enjoy it is partake of a drink and/or tapa.  I hope to make it there one of these days with the family.  We'll just need to wait until the summer when the kids are switched to Spanish time (not needing to wake up early for school).

At last, another chance to branch out at lunch time.  This restaurant is also just by the school.

It's called Bushi and we ate outdoors under these awnings, which were later opened to provide sun cover on a record breaking heat day.

It's called Bushi to stand for burgers (which the kids enjoyed) and sushi (for me).  The sushi wasn't as good as the place across the street, but it was a nice change.

My parents took a day trip with "Not Just a Tourist" that day.  They and another 4 or 5 Australians were toured around to 3 white towns.  Their highlight seemed to be lunch in the town of Grazalema at the restaurant Gastrobar La Maroma.  When they returned, they came to the apartment to tell us about their day and to read to the kids.

Meanwhile, Scott was on his weekly Tuesday, 8:30pm call with the folks on the Alaska project.
