It's proving more difficult than I thought to find wi-fi here so posts may be fewer and farther in between than normal. Work is going well, things here in Spain are different. To maintain the quality of the proteins they serve, they buy in big batches while the season is at it's peak, prepare it all in to portions, vacuum seal, and freeze it. Each individual piece is thawed gently and cooked to order.
On Monday it was a public holiday, and the staff went to Adolfo's winery for dinner. Attatched are photos of the vineyard and the banquet hall in which we ate. Dinner was traditional, jamon iberico, lomo, tortilla espagnola, guisado de ceirvo and cochinillo asado. (Spanish ham, whole cured pork loin, Spanish omelet, venison stew and roast suckling pig.) the staff had a great time, dancing, eating and of course drinking. The Spaniards are notorious for drinking at all hours of the day, as I speak I'm eating breakfast at a restaurant that offers beer to wash it down.
On my afternoon breaks I have been walking around, theres lots to be seen in Toledo, there are artisinal metalworks all over, bakeries and restaurants, as well as churches, mosques and "vendadors des productos typicos" (literally "sellers of typical products"), that offer local jamon, cheese, canned partridge, wine, beer, pastry, and olive oil.
Hope you are all having as good a time as I am, communication is proving difficult, but we shall overcome! I hope to head to a local shop to buy a few Toledan beers and give them a rating!
