So Phil arrived and he had a chance to have a couple of meal with Oscar. Oscar was out with friends on Wednesday and Thursday so we caught up with him for meals on Friday night and Saturday afternoon.
We went to Tienda Placido Y Grata for dinner and La Escalona on a perfect weather day for an outdoor lunch.
For dinner we shared the starters and dessert and each ordered a main - Fish for Oscar and Lamb for Phil and Pasta for me
side veggies for Oscar's fish
We had a terrific lunch outside in Plaza Alfalfa at La Escalona.
After walking by a number of good looking bakeries, we stopped at MITO for gelato and Oscar took a brief tour of the Art Museum, came back and picked up his bags for his train trip home to Madrid.
Then we went to out to dinner at La Cayetana. After a large lunch, we decided on a smaller dinner. We shared all four dishes. Two starters: beef tartare and "matrimonio" (boquerones and anchoas) and then two medium platos - arroz Iberico and puntillitas with egg and truffle. We had our favorite server tonight Iryna.
So today we had a leisurely morning and made brunch at home with some terrific smoked salmon and fresh rolls for the "convenience store" around the corner (Carrefour Express) which are kind of like upscale 7/11 with less crap and more fresh food.... so on we go. This next week, Phil's first full week should be more in our normal mode without classes and trainer Leslie sessions etc... We aren't traveling until December, but Jenny comes to visit on the 13th of November and then Mike on December 3rd and Lee on December 8th. Then the three of us go Madrid for three nights and Lee continues his Spain explorations while we return home to Sevilla. It is going to a be a busy year abroad for us. So stay tuned.
