I love the international flavour of this list.
Am so glad we have stores like ASDA and TESCO, otherwise
I would starve. I live on tortillas and chorizo.
Barcelona was awesome, although dishes I associate with certain
Mexican words are different in Spain.
We never did find any anarcho-bookshops though but did manage
to find the cyber-cafe by the Sagrada Familia.
The terrace in the apartment overlooked the Starr brewery sign
and the SF.
Dave and I discovered that you can get a bottle of wine for about
a quid in Spain, he got v.v.v.v pissed and must have sang _every_
single Scottish song he knew, even 'I Belong To Glasgae' a few times.
Belting out The Internationale in English at midnight probably didn't
endear us to our neighbours, but being eight stories up, at least they
didn't see he was buck-naked in the moonlight.
