Galicia Trip Number 2!

We had SUCH a great time in Galicia this weekend with Gabs and Chema. We went back to Gabi's town, Puebla de Caramiñal in the Rias Baixas region- it is so beautiful!
We rolled in on Friday and headed out for a night out on the town...but Friday never really ended, it just kind of bleeded into saturday as we samba-d our way out of the last bar at around 9am all while eating enormous calamari sandwiches (they had a takeout window in the bar! my kind of place!) We went directly home, JUST to grab our bikinis and head out once again to hit the beach! I do not recommend this for people over 30, I have one more yr left but I think I am definitely reaching the end of my prime...I think I must have actually passed out while sprawled on the sand, Gabi and Chema later explained that they had moved their towels away from mine because my excessively loud snoring started to bother them...

The highlight of the trip was the albariño festival in Cambados- rows of stands with people preparing any kind of shellfish imagineable all accompanied by amazing Albariño wine.
As you can see by the pictures we ate our faces off- and all for about 10 bucks a person!

Well I am headed off to Marbella this weekend to celebrate my birthday on the beach with Melissa... I'll be sure to let you know how it goes!
