So, okay. I didn't get to see anything besides work and the hotel. Although, I did get to go to a nice restaurant last night. Me and a couple other guys, left the hotel environs for Las Mercedes which is I guess a more upper scale area with shopping and restaurants.
We went to La Castañuela, a seafood place. Man, it was the best food all trip. We started with some sort of vegetable soup served in a teacup. You just drank it from the teacup. Then there was the mixed grilled seafood with chili sauce on the side. It was really good. Squid, clams, mussels, and some sort of fish. Then we had the paella valenciana which was so awesome. The same sort of stuff from the mixed grilled seafood, but with this yellow rice and olive oil and sherry. The flavor was wonderful. Then for dessert I had flan, which had a sort of burnt taste to it with rum. It was good, but not as good as Mom's.
I was at work until 4pm. And it was raining. I don't think I'll have time to do anything touristy today. Which kinda sucks since I'm leaving tomorrow. Kinda upset about that. I didn't get to buy knick knacks for my family. I doubt I'll be able to get any tomorrow am in the airport.
I'm the worst tourist ever.
