I think it is an inside joke to make them eat the most disgusting things, seeing if they will be polite enough to do so and not say anything.

We sat ourselves down at the Tapas bar and enjoyed lunch with the locals. I'm sure the juice was safe but we had so much at our hotel and I was thinking of how many calories were in each glass. I wonder why we can't do inexpensive juices like other countries? In Turkey they charged 1 euro a glass for fresh squeezed Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-43067542370394049152015-03-06T06:50:16.442-08:002015-03-06T06:50:16.442-08:00Oh yes we did go into the cathedral and had a wond...Oh yes we did go into the cathedral and had a wonderful young man give us a tour. He was waiting outside looking for customers and we decided to use him. What made it so great was he was very clearly spoken which made it very easy for D to hear every word. And yes we did see the last supper painting with the guinea pig on the plate.

I really enjoyed seeing what the locals eat and taking it all in. It's just fascinating. I'm always nervous about buying stuff myself, but that juice sounds wonderful and pretty safe.Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07430849998788960134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-7819994130666491492015-03-05T13:51:38.628-08:002015-03-05T13:51:38.628-08:00I could do England for sure but then so many are a...I could do England for sure but then so many are already doing it.

I can practically feel the chill in the open air while hearing the chattering laughter of vendors, and smelling a medley of aromas wafting around the stalls as various concoctions are brewed and bottled.
