Mucho Tapas

I found two places that have kick ass Tapas of completely different styles. The first I walked by on my way to the Mercado. It is called Freiduria Boatella Tapas y Cerveceria on Placa Del Mercat street. I walked in and saw all the dishes of beautiful food laid out on the counter and people sitting in the shade on the patio and at the bar having expresso, cerveza and Tapas. The food included plates of small fried shrimp, chirretes (little whole fish 2"), Boquerones (bigger, little fish 3") I took a picture of the food and left, hoping to stop by later. I wanted to find my school so IO kow where to go tomorrow morning so continued on past tyhe mercado. As I'm walking I see one beautiful building after anthother and I begin taking pictures, but after a while I thought they will all look the same and I can't really tell a story about each one so why bother. I did go inside one church called Lonja De Valencia (I think) that had it's 500th anniversity in 1996! As I continued on my way I came across another Tapas bar called Sagardi on Carrer de Saint Vicente Martir. It was fancier than the first place and the tapas were all small sandwiches and fancy 'horderves (sp). Took another picture of the food and left. Turns out my school is two doors down. I know where I'm having lunch tomorrow! Well I could go on and on (and I have) but suffice to say, so far I love this place and the people. Its relaxing and beautiful, the people are not in a hurry for anything, (including getting me a second expresso when Im sitting at the counter and no one else is in the place). Oh, and I purchased a long shower hose! I stopped at a place to get water and a Korean mad and his wife were there, I asked if they spoke English - no, but perfect Spanish I laughed and I think I offended them but I couldn't help myself. Stopped at another place later for more water and another Korean ran the place. It was a tiny little shop like a convenience store. I tried to explain that I was having a terrible time finding an adapter for my computer cord to plug into 220v. The guy pulls out a small plastic tub filled with abunch of various electrical adapters not even in packaging and he hands me one. I look at it and initially tell him it won't work - remember I spent a good part of yesterday looking for one of these things, including going to a huge Circuit City type place. He shows me that it will work, and charges me €.75. I hope it does work.
