One of the amigos in our group from Minnesota had a birthday! And you know birthdays are just an excuse to go out. So of course we splurged and bought him vino, a cake, and took him out to dinner… yum! But it was a lot different experience here in Spain than it would be in the US. If in the US, we’d go to Publix, grab a cake with the name embroidered on, then go out to say Ruby Tuesdays and have the waitors sing for him.
Here I searched everywhere for a simple cake… even the bakeries didn’t have what I was looking for. Finally the supermercado had a decent mini chocolate cake for 7 euros.
And the restaurant experience, that was definitely my favorite! It was 12 Euros for a 2 course meal, free vino, and dessert. YUMmmmm. *You have to take a look at this food! It was the first time we’d been out to Spanish restaurant since we’d arrived in Salamanca, so it was interesting comparing this food to our families’ food. I do have to say my Senora is a great cook! I ordered things I remembered her serving me which was kind of cool.
Oh, the singing experience. That was funny. Megan and I went in the back and the “camallero”, waitor and the ladies in the kitchen helped us put 20 candles on the cake and we all came out and sang “Cumpleanos Feliz!” It was so cute!!
And of course, Megan and Bruno had to end the evening with a non hands eating contest. Pictures below…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIKO!
