Have the "Menu of the Day" is you visit Spain. It´s a pretty good deal. It is offered during the day and usually available till about 5pm it seems. But, it´s worth it. Lunch is traditionally their main meal here, so you get your money´s worth. You get bread, a drink (beer or wine if you wish), the primero (first course) and a segundo (second course) and either coffee or dessert. Most places have about 5 choices for each course.

Today I had a beer, very big salad w/ tuna, and then beef kabobs with french fries and washed down with a cup of coffee. Total price = 7.80 Euro´s. That is about $9 or so...I think. I have managed to stop thinking in dollars and am trying not to go back right now. It´s too confusing.

And mom, you´ll be proud...I now eat tuna, I tried "polpo" (octopus) and have had a few other new foods that have slipped my mind for now. The polpo was wasn´t too bad either. Unfortunately, the coffee here and prevalence of it has sucked me in. It´s pretty damn good. Just what I need, another bad habit...
