How are you all doing? Have  you ever been on one of those big Spanish ships? Oh it is amazing! Every year there are Tall Ships Races every year in La Coruña, Spain. This is in the Northern part of Spain. This made me remember the History classes some years way back. I  enjoyed the description of these big boats and those classes very much. These races are comprised of some 3500 crewmen in these tall ships from 35 countries. These events are so much fun and a day well spend. Hope you enjoyed this bit of history. Now let’s talk about some food.

Oh, this year seems like it began yesterday. So many things happened this year, it has taken its toll and am grateful for every single minute. But with no regrets, it was fill of joy and wonderful events. I believe I had more than I expected. Yes, my cup runneth over. I surely have lots to give thanks for. I was fortunate to have many celebrations and surely enjoyed my favorite Spanish cuisine. Just thinking of it makes me hungry.
