While eating tapas in Spain, I learned a little about the history of tapas. The word tapar apparently means to top or to cover. So the word comes from the time when a piece of bread was placed over the wine glass to keep out bugs. Eventually, bartenders staring adding meats and cheeses to the tapas. I think I like the tapas tradition. So be prepared for a tapas party when i return. I am actually heading to tapas this evening with Josh and Gina, 2 friends from San Jose. I met them for lunch earlier and got to speak English the whole time. Josh was supposed to stay longer, but he's chickening out and leaving tonight. This makes me sad, I like having him around.
I will have to update you with the rest of my weekend tomorrow, sorry to keep you hanging!
