The following pictures are a procession that passed by my windows on Saturday night. The drill, hear the noise, grab phone or camera and go peer over the balcony...
Sunday we went out for lunch to a restaurant Bruce and I used to frequent, frequently. It has changed ownership and been upgraded from the "old man" bar we enjoyed, now named Bodega Palo Santo and is quite posh now. So posh, in fact, that they tried to kick me from the table while waiting for Ryan and Angela! I didn't budge despite both waiters wanting me to, luckily Ryan and Angela turned up right on time and we ordered. Here are some observations which we thought made the reviews for it highly overrated. Tables are small, food advertised as original Spanish dishes did not taste as they normally do, i.e. tragically missing garlic in the pork one. The wait staff did not crack a smile to anyone throughout the service, Not One waiter smiled! Okay it is Sunday and restaurants all over Sevilla are jammed with people, nice day out for everyone, but it is that way every nice weekend. It made us think what is the management like here? Anyway food and service were passable but we won't be returning for overpriced, taste lacking food and grumpy waiters.
All in all, still a nice day out to people and dog watch!
Have a great Saint Patrick's Day if you haven't already, the parade downtown Toronto was held on Saturday. As I say every year, no green beer for me but I will be wearing green!
