     Another ten hour day and I got my first small blister from not wearing my orthotics early on. Fall time change last night bought us an extra hour of snoring. This really means that we need to get up an extra hour earlier just to beat the heat.

It has been scary at times because all the hunters with their shotguns are all hunting in the fields that we are walking. Our best guess is that they are hunting rabbits as they don't hunt real early and it is the only game that we see hopping around.

     One of the things we miss the most over here is Wallie. We try petting cats over here but it just doesn't do it for us. So we went looking for better alternatives. These guys like us as much as we like them. They even compete for our attention. Don't tell Wallie.

     This is for my brother Robert who was a chef in his past life but now only assistant chef to his wife at home. My food favorites have been soups. Lunch today was this thick Callos de Garbanzo. 

Loaded with tripe, lots of beef tendon and some garbanzos-exquisite flavor.

My new favorite is the Sopa de Trucha. They had this in a double boiler, almost like a hot pot. A full trout on top which the waiter deboned for me. I got a bit worried he was going to eat my meal for me. The soup was almost dry as the breads in it sucked up all the delicious juices.
