The day in Laujar

Earlier today, Judith and Jesus (and their spouses) took us out to Laujar. *note: Jesus and Judith are the two English teachers at my (Greg's) school that I work with* In the picture, Jesus is the man on the far left while Judith is the woman in the middle, back row. I'm sure you are all aware of who Marieke is but, for clarification, she is the woman on the left, front row.

Anyways, Laujar is one of many tiny, tiny pueblos here in the mountains, roughly 45 minutes from Aguadulce. They had told us about a very tasty restaurant and offered to take us there. Once we arrived, the entire place reminded us of Oregon or the Ozarks with pine trees and "normal" trees (ie, not evergreens) and cliffs and a river and it was beautiful... and cold. We had forgotten (not to be rubbing anything in anyone's faces) that it is actually November!



After we walked around, we had migas at the restaurant. Migas are apparently a dish that is *usually* made when it rains. It's supposed to be really time-consuming to make but is just oil and flour mixed together and tastes similar to non-spiced stuffing.

We uploaded a bunch of new photos at the photobucket site. I also posted a couple of pics from our evening at the tapas bar Casa Puga two nights ago. We don't have any further pics, but after we visited Casa Puga, we found an Arabic teteria, or a tea shop (in the sense of it was like a coffee shop in the States but only had tea). This place was amazing and had live music... not great live music, but live music none-the-less. And after the live music, people just got up and played the instruments like a jam session. Neil went up there and played a bit, as well as a Spanish woman who did some flamenco-esque songs. They both did fantastic and we caught some video of them both. I'll get those vids up in a while... and after I practice a bit more, you might find one of me trying out the live music scene. :D
