The sixth

Hi folks! I'm sorry I've been so busy! Now the real business! So I have been essentially settled in my new life in Spain, now onto the more imporant stuff--food, of course.

Firstly, tapas are a huge deal here in Spain and an even bigger deal in my town of
La Linea de La Concepcion. And why are they a huge deal? One word: seafood. We are located on the tip of Spain, a ten minute walk towards Gibraltar and a ferry ride to Africa. We're located next to the Mediterranean sea where many countries scavenge for all types of squid, octopus, salmon, tuna, etc etc. you name it.
I luckily was fortunate try a variety of sea foods (much like the octopus in olive oil seen in the photo) and probably will continue to eat all kinds of seafood (just like the octopus seen in the picture). The octopus was fantastic, cold, and had the texture of a soft tuna. It was delightful and I could eat more with some bread on the side (another staple with eating tapas). I wish I could remember the place's name, but it doesn't really seem all that imporant because this is something they general have in most tapas places.

Second thing I have to mention:
These FREAKING DELICIOUS BABY CLAMS. The ingredients to these babies were very simple: baby clams, garlic, olive oil. Tiny, delicious, garlicky, and they make me happy. I could eat a million of these (but I was sadly only given something like 28 and had to divide that in half with my roommate. Just not enough clams...).

But alas, this is all I can really say for now. I'll be sure to take more photos of food and keep everybody posted on what goes in my mouth and makes me cringe with joy.

That's all folks!
