……We didn‘t have anything really planned for today…..and listening to the workers next door…..working on the new café that’ll open in September…..at 8:30 also wasn’t part of our plan…..but you cook breakfast and adapt…..buying a coffee cooker and finding out….the stove is a picky SOB….due to the fact that only special pots and pans will cook on it… “Well isn’t that…..special!”……that stove won’t even know my doorbell…..a stove….telling me I can’t use my momma’s pot?…..sure, Albert……and that bit of info did not help my “I NEED COFFEE” mood…..screw it….once the clothes finished washing we hung them….and out the door….to give the workers next door ugly looks for waking us up…..anyway,…..Nicole had a I need fresh fruit attack…so we hit MAS again….and I remembered a woman’s clothing shop we passed last night….when Nicole was having her first fresh fruit attack then….and I got caught up in the “Mazetrix” and couldn’t find MAS last night…….hoping I could get lucky and remember where the hell this shop was….got lucky!…..COLORHUESO (Andres Perez 7)…..listen ladies….if you’re here and you find this store…..you will want to buy every article in it….her designs are comfortable, earth tone colors, from Italy, top notch quality….and the prices….you won’t believe them…..Nicole walked out with three early birthday presents…..serious presents that would’ve cost in Hamburg…..at least…..over or close to $300-500….one of the articles….I paid…..$82….t was heartbreaking….both of us wanted to tell her….. “CHARGE MORE!”……a linen top……for $18……I’m telling you….Nicole told her if she could…..she would buy everything in her shop…..and we would’ve paid for everything…..hand-made beautiful leather handbags….Hamburg…$500-700….some places….thousands..….her shop…..$75….and the owner is a beautiful person…..with a great vibe….#34 again……we found a new beach spot not far from the city center….Nicole played fish…..I played husband who’s not a fan of water….fish pee in it….ugh!……and drank beer….and have a great conversation with a young man…..who had some shore leave from the Welsh navy…..and decided yesterday….. “Screw this, I’m out”…..and booked a ticket to Malaga…..didn’t even bother to check into his hotel right away…..and decided….sitting on the beach and having a beer was a way better idea…..Nicole’s was talking about the one thing she loves to eat in Spain…..or wherever she can find them….Churros….she asked me if I’d had them….I wasn’t sure I did until she showed me a picture….and we decided to find them….and it was a fun journey….we hit a place I thought would have them because they bake fresh stuff daily….nope….but she pointed us to a place nearby our crib…..nope…..so they pointed us to a place down the street….nope…..and they were kind enough to point us to a place right across the street….nope….and they pointed to a place next door….yep….. “MAZETRIX”…..I’m telling ya….it’s a trip…..CASA ARANDA (Santos 6)….man they were good….the way to eat them is to dip it in warm chocolate….on a 100 degree day…..there are different ways they’re made…..and the waiter told us where the best ones are…..CASA ARANDA (Herreria Del Rey 2)…..might try and find that one tomorrow….
DAY-5…..And tomorrow we did….have you ever been to a café….where the workers are the worst ever?…..the churros weren’t all that….and dig this….we wanted to pay….so the most non-friendly waitress came….and snatched the cash out of her hand….Nicole was like….. “Oh hell no!”….she brought our change back….slammed it on the table and walked away…..Nicole left her a 5 cent tip…..and we walked away…..the beach…..wasn’t feeling it…..walking around in the city…..nah…..but chilling in the apartment…..watching the Olympics in Spanish…..and putting a big dent in a San Miguel 40oz seemed like the best idea…..later, we met a great friend of hers who took the same yoga teacher classes as Nicole….and the Welsh navy guy appeared out of nowhere…..just showed up…..finally found out his name was Harry….he spent the day in the botanical garden and showed us all the pictures of bugs he took during his trip there……he grew up on a farm….loves insects…butterflies…..dragonflies….his pics of dragonflies were nice…..have you ever seen a purple one?………he’s into it and loves it with a passion…..saw some frogs pictures….we had a discussion about spiders though…..I didn’t see any spiders…..don’t like spiders……just ask Australia….the café we spent our time at is called…..MALA LECHE (Castillo Del Sohail 1)…..and we’ll be eating breakfast there tomorrow…..fresh baked cakes and pastries….good coffee….and a wonderful breakfast menu…..now it’s dinner time…..so, right up the street from us and to the right….across for the store selling home-made chocolate is…… COBALTO MALAGA (info@cobaltorestaurant.com)…..couldn’t find the correct address but don’t worry…..I wouldn’t send anyone there…..way over priced…..the portions are too small for the price you pay….we were sitting across from a woman and a young child…..we ordered different lasagnas…..and the couple next to us did the same…..theirs arrived first….we looked at it and asked;…..”Is that the kids plate?”….and every time you order something…..they charge you 1euro…..to bring “YOUR” food to you….it’s a service fee…..yo!…..tell me where it is….I’ll get it myself…..what was that song again?…. “Open up the door….and I’ll get it myself”…..if the service is good, we’re cool…..no rushing in and asking me when my mouth is full of what I ordered to eat….. “Is everything ok?”…..I always wanted to say…. “If I spit this all over….what would you think?….get outta my face”…..no…..don’t do that…..pushing the dessert…..no, don’t do that…..I’ll tip….Nicole will tip……just ask the woman Nicole tipped at the churros joint…..…..anyway,….the thing about those….. “I’m gonna git my cash”……restaurants is…..they try to fit in…..as many people as possible…….in spaces where it just ain’t possible….. now close your eyes…..and imagine a 747 bathroom……with 20 tables in it…..anyway,…. here’s another thing…..because of that vast spacious dining area you’re in….NOT…….someone working there will more than likely…..stick his/hers ass in the smallest area of space……dead in your face….seriously,…..waiter comes to the table next to you….politely bends forward towards the guest and ask….. “Would there be anything else?”….. “Your ass out my face maybe?”……and that was the second time it happened since we’ve been here……we were sitting at the joint with the smokin’ Jamaican jerk bird again…..and someone behind me was getting up……Nicole said;…. “Damn, she has a nice ass”…..yer darn tootin’ I looked….and I saw a big green ball…..dead in my face……when it started to zoom out….I saw a beautiful young woman from the Netherlands…..with her mother…..and me……one who never argues with my darling wife….agreed….. “yep!”…..Dutch women ain’t no joke…..don’t remember the correct Olympics….but find the picture of the woman’s volleyball team……anyway,…..pass on this family run joint if you’re here…..it’s not all that..…because we definitely will…..fool me once…..AND….USA basketball….dodged a….that wasn’t even a bullet….they dodged a bomb…..y’all better be glad Curry didn’t have the flu…..one article asked the question…. “Has Europe caught up to the U.S. in Men’s hoops”…..where the hell has this person been?
