Hot Pink Pants After Mid Day Sunday In Australia

Tapas in Madrid according to blogs Honfleur




Yes dear friends fellow members, colleagues, light collectors, postal workers, vendors Persian rugs and any other person of good (or bad) taste that occasionally spends a few minutes of your valuable time to read the little adventures that I explain here, but give me the slightest hint of shame. Today, as I calm down the bad mood that I feel that 1) makes a completely rotten time in Brussels, and 2) the hard drive on my iMac G5 just refuse to continue working (writing from the laptop), I will tell you that Madrid Tapas was a week ago. Not anywhere. No!. I dedicated myself to follow the advice of two of my friends blogs.

Lo tapas (snacks, snacks, etc) has already passed to be quite popular in Europe (another thing is the quality of the covers that give you, for example, in Rotterdam), but the best are south of the Pyrenees. Total, this time I said "Sorokin, always go for tapas at the same places when you go to Madrid. Why not try the advice you give in your blogs friends?" So, I jumped into the matter.

First, I confess that the main picture does not belong to any place for tapas, but the restaurant "The Fisherman" street list. It is a lure to encourage you to enter the blog. Cunning eh?. I've never been, but looks for "Tonnerre", as they say in Belgium (the Belgians considered that " Tonnerre, "thunder" is a good thing, who knows why)

The first place I went, was "pure state", following the recommendations of Claudia Hernández in his blog "Blog culinary" http

is a very popular place in Madrid.'s in the Cánovas Square, no less than next to the Palace and the Ritz Hotel. Their tops are what we might call "design." Finally after all the chef is a disciple of Ferran Adria. I jumped on a bowl of lentils with foie gras, surprising combination of flavors, but when you get the hang of is fine. Too bad that by the time you get it already over. Ham croquettes, excellent, I reconciled with my plebeian tastes. The wine list very good. It is an expensive place, but of course it is fashionable.

The second site I went (another day, I toméis Pantagruel by a narrow gauge) was Casa Lucas, a recommendation of Vienna in his blog "Taste of Vienna"

's in the Cava Baja, very close to the Plaza Mayor, but is not contaminated by the commercial spirit of giving tourists a squid and charged as if they were caviar have many local bars. Here the style is different from "pure state" more affordable for the common palate and also covers are rather bulky, which is welcome if you want to go to bed on an empty stomach. I had eaten enough for lunch, I tried a goat cheese salad with tomato and I can hardly terminármela. In summary, very good, and excellent wine list.

Y, ea, my weekend to give me no more. The next time I will continue my research. For now, next week I'm going to Mexico. I hope to make further inquiries dining there. I'll tell you

Average Dress Size For Women In America






I spent a few days (few, what we might call a long weekend) in Honfleur, Normandy my favorite spot. In case you do not know exactly where it is (hey, I say "just in case", which I'm calling you uneducated or anything, dear readers, I hear some angry protests as "by whom we have taken, etc ... .) As I say, if extremely unlikely that someone did not locate exactly on the map, there is one. I know it's a very confusing map, but you see where Honfleur:



As you see, is right next to Deauville-Trouville, where parisinerío goes all fine (to call them politely), but has a totally different style. A Honfleur van loh artihtah "with a touch counter-although some go on his yacht-etc. For starters, do not have a ride where you can show off the latest models of cars and that, at Deauville anger can kill. Honfleur is that pateárselo. They call the city of painters ", because it really is very picturesque.

At the very center is "Le vieux basin" (the old harbor), which is what appears in the photo coverage. It's a dock, because in the eighteenth century, fed up that when the tide rose and fell ships remained dry and that also smelled stinking, they built a dam at the entrance of the port that maintains a constant level of the basin. The complex of buildings surrounding the "vieux basin is the most authentic, because in 1944 he escaped Allied bombing, which was crushed Caen, Rouen, Le Havre and other surrounding cities.

buildings on the west side of the basin are a totally chaotic, home to endure each other, of different heights and colors:



The east side is, however, more harmonious. The buildings are more modern (except the church which is at the center of the photo, which is now a marine museum):




To me, what quréis to tell you? I like the other side. Moreover, since the apartment I rented, in the east side, above the restaurant "Le Vieux Honfleur" looked perfectly fine animation and Western movidilla:




I'm not going to say how I got that then you step to me so next time, but above it was not expensive. Much cheaper than a hotel, and I will rent for weekends or weeks. The advantage over a hotel also is that you can go to the fish, oysters or buy turbot and a bottle Muscadet sur lie, and those you do it yourself.




The problem, obvious to say, it is very clear in the photo below:




In any case, if you violently attacks laziness, I already know that washing dishes is a gigantic task, Honfleur is full of restaurants, bars, tearooms, brasseries, creperie, coffee shops, etc. My favorite is "La petite China", a tea room next to the docks, where you can drink twenty or thirty different kinds of teas, amazing cakes, coffees, sandwiches.



And if you are lucky and you will not get much rain, you can give a tour of art galleries in the upper area, the museum of Impressionist paintings, or even if you love books, I found a used bookstore, "Le Bouquiniste "




Where, look, dear buddies, I found a book I bought it immediately. A treaty School of History of Spain, 1923:



I'm reading. It's very interesting to see how focused eighty years all known histories Viriato Indíbil and Mandonius, Numancia, etc ...

And it, I leave that I'm getting cake. Another day I will tell you more things
