THIS is Spain in a nutshell

So I was at the grocery store this morning around 11:00am ... and the man (about in his late 30s) in line behind me had two things on his shopping list which (in my mind) managed to encompass all that is Spain...



- three packages plump (read HUGE) green olives




- one bottle giorgi line "gel fijador" (read styling hair gel... actually the exact same kind that Sylvia asked me to buy her the other day)... plus "gel" is pronounced "hell," so that gives me a little juvenile giggle as well
