Habla Espanol!

One of the advantages of where we are living is that there are several places to eat within walking distance. Having already sampled the delicacies at Hallo Pizza! in the past, we went out for dinner yesterday evening at a real restaurant:

 

Nice little place, friendly staff, good house wine, etc. Plus, get this: they speak Spanish! What a treat to be able to communicate in a foreign language again (why couldn't I have found a job in Spain?). I had a delicious garlic-chicken dish. Christine had some eggplant tapas thingy. Arianne sat quietly in her stroller and looked around from behind her massive cheeks.

One thing I noticed that I thought was a little strange is that dogs are permitted in restaurants here. This would contravene every health & safety regulation in Canada, of course. Anyways, the dog was well-behaved.
