List of Firsts, Last Night

(steve)

We wandered the Madrid neighborhoods near our hotel looking for the perfect meal, and I was hoping to add one more -- calamares en su tinta (squid in its own ink) -- to my list of firsts before our flight home tomorrow, . Miau looked good from the outside, but ultimately I had to settle for fried calamari on a bed of iceberg lettuce.

sigh...

Far be it from me however to belittle my more than considerable list of firsts, which follows:

Firsts: (not counting place)
beouf tartare
pigeon
pig lard (lardo collonata)
tripe
mediterranean sea
topless beach
duck
high-speed train
alps
boar sauce
absinthe
lavender fields
