A Few of My Favorite Spanish Things

The Round-a-bouts:

Roundabouts just make so much since. It allows for a good flow of traffic even when conditions are crowded. I love to ride bikes through them.

The Ice Cream:

I don't know why but I didn't expect the ice cream to be so good. There is a chocolate variety here that is like eating a candy bar without the sick syrupy taste.

The Chocolate:

I knew European chocolate was good but I wasn't sure if that would reach into the Iberian Peninsula. The chocolate is great.

The Bidet:

That's right I'll admit it! Sometimes that extra little cleaning is needed. Bishop Rife you were right about this one.

Doner Kabop:

These are sandwiches that originate in the middle-east, Turkey or somewhere. They are made with bar-b-cue meat on a pressed and toasted bread and have a yogurt sauce. They are big and cheap and taste great.

The Missionaries:

It's hard to be a missionary in Spain. At 2:00 in the afternoon until 5:00 the country comes to a stop. This time is sacred. Don't mess with the Spaniards Mediodia (siesta). The missionaries we have met are positive and eager to do the work. They just can't do it between 2:00 and 5:00. If I had to describe the Spanish lifestyle in two words I would say "tradition" and "schedule". Both are obstacles for missionary work.

The Members of the Church:

I've said it before, It's hard to be a member of the Church in Spain. I admire the members here.
