Life Lesson: If you go into the right place and order a beer, you get free food.
I was wondering in Almeria today and I found a café in a side street. The entrance was nearly blocked by all the construction work being done to the sidewalk, but from the outside I could see the tables filled with little old ladies arguing with impassioned faces and manically gesturing hands in front of tables with glasses of beer and littered ashtrays. Obviously, a good sign. While I’m well aware that cafes are all-too common in Europe (not a bad thing), I’m pleasantly surprised to find two beers on tap, free baked potato concoctions, and a wireless signal. Cheers!
As for things actually interesting to read about….
The transatlantic crossing (eight days at sea!) wasn’t nearly as bad as anticipated. There were enough guest entertainers to play for, and the band is working out far better than anticipated. I’ve heard horror stories about well-seasoned players who don’t take too kindly to youngins on the bandstand, but everyone seems kind and supportive. Plus, it’s almost like a U.N. of musicians: Romania, UK, Australia, Philippines… well, maybe not a U.N., but not too shabby, either.
Once again, cheers, y’all. Stay intrigued.
