Look at that beautiful water!  

 

Are you still there or are you home now?

 

I wish I had your breakfast sitting in front of me.

Home now. I could easily have that breakfast daily...well on weekends anyway.

Hey gfweb,

 

Thanks so much for taking the time to share the culinary aspects of your trip to Spain with us!

 

I'm sorry the paellas in what otherwise looked like a really awesome restaurant were so disappointing. I do have to say that the photo of paella in the old 70's Betty Crocker cookbook is more visually appealing than either one of them. I've made the recipe several times although not verbatim. It calls for a can of lobster.  :wacko: With fresh seafood it turns out phenomenally, and looks better than either of the ones from the resto you went to. Betty rocked in her day!  :laugh:

 

I'm with rotut's philosophy: Life is too short for bitterness or envy. I revel in every good thing I'm able to grab from life, and for my circumstances, I consider myself very, very fortunate. I also relish the fact that there are people in this world with more opportunities than I have who are so generous to share some of their experiences that I dreamed of in youth, but now may never see firsthand.

 

I know it takes time to do what you did to put together this account, and I appreciate your generosity.

A little more idealism knocked out of my head! Two bad paella in Barcelona! How sad is that?

 

I had paella in Barcelona during La Mercee and didn't enjoy it at all.
