Day 75:
This whole week I have been planning for our upcoming trips and also looking at flights for a trip I am taking with a girlfriend in October. I have been emailing wineries in La Rioja to see who will allow Coco to come with us on our winery visits and it has been a lot of work! I emailed (in Español) maybe a dozen and only 1 said they would allow Coco as long as she is in a purse or carrier during the tour. Others we would have to leave Coco at home. For the end of October I am planning to meet a friend in Morocco! Scott and I have wanted to go but Coco would not be allowed back into the States if she went there so when a girlfriend of mine asked if I wanted to go, well, I was ecstatic! Finding flights is another story...
Today, 19th of September, we tried a new place for lunch called
Valenciana. It is very simple...fish and chips. 4 types of fish to choose from and you probably could not go wrong with any one of them. Someone recommended this place and we have walked by so many times, I am glad we finally decided to try it! For dinner it was back to
Bar Merfin and I thought we were trying at least one new dish but it turns out we have had it before. Still, 💯% delicioso!!!

Day 76 & 77:
Nothing too exciting around here...just more food, wine, trip planning and trying to better our Español by watching Spanish movies (with English subtitles). We watched one called
Entre Nos and it was good but very sad. Also the Español was Columbian so some words or phrases are going to be different than España Español.
