Troy had the week off and we went out for lunch. He has our first bowl of gazpacho for the summer season. They take that little plate of  onions and peppers from one table to the next, so I am glad we got it first.  I meanwhile had goat cheese with balsamic vinegar. 

The best way to eat out is to go for lunch during the week. Restaurants have a Menu del Día with three or four choices for a starter and main dish. People used to go home for the big meal of the day and the siesta. But not anymore. So restaurants offer a good deal for working people. 

Troy got a hamburger with an egg congealed over the top like melted cheese. I ordered fish and was delighted to get little fried fish with the heads on.  I loved that dish in southern Spain and this is the first time I've had it here. 

     Troy has a mountain of use-or-lose leave. It was miscalculated for five years because his military time should have counted towards seniority. I guess it is good that he received it here where the office is fully manned instead of Oman where he got two weeks off in two years.
