Last night we were both hungry for a good meal. We have not found the food here to be particularly good, however as we were wandering around wondering where to eat, God literally directed us to the door of a restaurant. We entered and enjoyed the best meal of the trip so far. We had grilled seafood for two. It started with small mussels in butter garlic sauce. They had a very delicate flavor. Next was a scallop each still on the shell. The way they were served is different from what we normally see, but delicious. Then came a lobster to split and 10 large prawns (shrimp). Everything was cooked perfectly. The meal was topped off with a special Galician liqueur that seemed like smooth moonshine with cream and a little coffee. I might learn to like coffee served this way. It was fun to see the seafood and how it was prepared and served. We intend to return when Hunter gets here and try the local delicacy of barnacles as well as the other items mentioned.
*Today we walked around the old city with a self-guided tour on an MP3 machine. Santiago is loaded with old buildings of signficance. We also went into the cathedral. We are unable to figure out how to post a picture because all the instructions are in Spanish. Maybe when our best Spanish speaker and computer guru (Hunter) arrives we will be able to upload some.*
