Viva la Lisp!

After three years of hearing ourselves talk about leaving the country we have finally made it. Let me start by letting you know that 18 hours on a plane is a LONG TIME. In case you have already forgotten one of us is a minature giant. Planes were not designed with 6'3" men in mind. In fact I do not belive that planes were made with people in mind. Probably money on the mind with no consideration for comfort...
So what is Spain like? First impressions are good. The weather is good the people seem nice and the hotels that we are staying in are nicer than a tent! We have not had much of an opportunity to leave the hotel as our days have been filled with orientacion (that is how you say orientation en espanol...hard one I know)! Spanish people love the pig. We have already eaten pig also known as pork or puerco (en espanol) in more ways than I ever thought possible. Raw pork, cooked pork, bacon (not cooked like we do at home...RAW with a little warming), pork soup, pork pork pork!!! We have also had la oportunidad (opportunity en espanol...another hard one try to bare with me) to try some of the famous tapas. Amoung the favorites, octopus, raw pork slices, pork ka-bobs and some other things that we were not quite sure about...tasted good though and that is what is important. Unfortunatly we have not yet had the opportunity to take any pictures but we promise to get on it! The food has been great the people are nice and we are loving the lisp! Hopefully the next post will be a little more enjoyable... You know one with fotos and what not. None of you really want to read you just want pictures!
