Heat

Its hot this morning and I was awakened by pounding hammering at 9:00 AM!. I know that sounds late but we stay up till like 3-4 AM. So to hear pounding hammers at 9 is a little disconcerting. Its hot and moist this morning. I think I'm gettin a hotel room this weekened just for the AC and TV. I found one around the corner for only 50 ero/night. Saturday I'm going on a sailing excursion on the Meteteranian. There is somekind of Rigatta going on so we will watch that and they will cook Paella on the boat. I'm looking forward to that.

I learned something yesterday about ordering wine. I have been going to the bars and saying "un vino rojo" for one red wine. Someone corrected me and told me I should just say "Tinto". With this, the bartender will know what I want and give me the house wine. Interesting. I have also been told they have a local dish very similar to a gumbo called Allipebre. I haven't tried it and I haven't seen it on the menus but I'm going to look for it.

There are a tons of different kinds of Paella. They even make it with spaghetti. I'm not sure if it has a different name when they use noodles but I'll investigate.
