Spain - wonderful world of tapas


     Spain has a wonderful tradition or custom called "Tapas".  It goes with their staying up late and having dinner at 8 or 9 at night. The top photo is from a favorite tapas bar in Barcelona. The bottom photo is what the streets look like at 2 pm.  People take a break and have a light meal and "beverage" mid-afternoon. Like English tea. I was in a store in Granada buying a shirt and suddenly the lights went off and the clerks started leaving - 2 pm. I bought the shirt. We caught on to tapas very quickly. America is so primitive. We need some of these traditions.
