Another Tiny Milestone

So, today is officially our 3 month-a-versary! I know, I know, sounds silly, but my philosophy is that you should celebrate anything possible. Today we were lucky enough to get a couple of hours of glorious sunshine, so we took a really long walk down to the beach and then along the Salthill Promenade. Although the sun was amazing, the winds were really strong, but I guess that just added a little bit of resistance to our exercise. :)


Last night a couple of friends had a "latin" party. They invited people over for "fajitas" (as prepared by a Swedish guy and a Spanish girl!), mojitos and games. There were also a few other German friends and the two of us. We had great intentions of doing a little salsa dancing, but ended up being a bit too tired to muster the energy. Next time. A couple of us were asked to bring dessert as our contribution to the meal. I prepared Crema Volteada from Marco's mom's delicious recipe. It's a flan type of dessert which is very easy to make, but looks great and tastes even better. A German couple that we are friends with didn't know what to do, so they went online for ideas. They ended up making chocolate dipped jalapeños! You can see them in the picture here. They were a bit hot after a couple of bites, but a really creative and surprisingly tasty little treat!


Now we are getting ready to watch the final match of the Euro 2008 tournament. It's a huge soccer championship over here with all of the top European teams. It's Germany vs. Spain and should be a pretty exciting match. This will be a "short" week for us since we leave for Paris on Thursday morning. Yippeeeee!!
