Geoduck

We went to Bar Santa Marta for dinner. I had a geoduck (pronounced "gooey duck") tapas. Very weird texture, not much taste, would definitely pass next time. Here's what they looked like before getting sliced up into the tapas:

They're basically clams with a borderline obscene shape when out of the shell.

We went with Wang Zhi, someone from Laura's language school:

After dinner, we kind of just wandered around. We saw this giant fish in a pescaderia:

We also saw this flamenco dancer:


And we saw this rock/jazz trio, Musgö, that featured a harp:


I was hoping to find some of their music on-line, but so far no luck. EDIT: Here's a youtube video, and the harpist's, Mar Gabarre's, youtube channel.

There's a new store going in on the main street (San Jacinto) in our neighborhood.

The sign went up today "ALE-HOP". I got kind of excited and took this picture. We could always use a bar that does more than just the usual beers around here. Sadly, this is not an exotic beer house. ALE-HOP is a gift store. We definitely don't need another gift store.

Found this fun, simplified map of Sevilla in the local mall. I like the style:
