Excursion Out of Pieros

I texted with Kevin last night, and told the others, “ Kevin is thinking ‘holidays!’ Fiestas! And I am having to tell him I wash dishes and mop floors.” So tonight Mar, Ulises, and I went to a tea house, then to dinner.

The entrance. Just wait; it gets better.
Better than this
There was so much not pictured here. Hidden hammocks, swings, chairs made of shopping carts…

So what music do you hear when you see those pictures? Pan flutes? Enya? Nothing? What? You didn’t guess Guns and Roses? Welcome to the Jungle, baby!

We ordered tea off the menu .

I got canela (cinnamon.)

We also got crepes. If I had known we were going to dinner afterwards I would not have gotten ham and cheese.

Mar & Ulises.
Ulises and me
Interesting art above our heads

The tea house closed at dark. So we went to dinner at Taberna Che. Che as in Che Guevara. Ulises, who is from Argentina, was shocked the entire place was virtually a shrine to him. The food was good though.

Setas (a type of mushroom) de ajillo (garlic.) Greasy and good. Patatas bravas ( the red dish) and patatas con aioli
A veggie burger for Ulises
I don’t remember the name for these. They had zucchini and eggplant seasoned with cinnamon inside, with a cream sauce on the outside. Really good

As I stuffed myself I thought, I am going to gain five pounds overnight. Worth it. Totally worth it.

We ordered cheesecake for dessert, and at first I thought this tiny dish of custard was it and the Spanish just don’t get cheesecake. Well, they don’t, but…
…this was a lot closer. It was more like flan, though.
