Not as early a get-up as from Sevilla to catch the train from Barcelona to Logroño. An uneventful four hour trip. Once we got to Logroño and checked into our rooms we headed out to grab a quick bite. Luis took us to a great little place called 100 Montaditos where you can buy all sorts of little snacks for 1 euro apiece. Made for a cheap lunch, We then set out for an orientation walk, which Irv opted out of and it was a good thing because it ended up being a fairly long one. I am going to try to replicate it with Irv tomorrow, at a much slower pace to accommodate his back issues which have really slowed him down.
Luis had organized a wine tasting with a local winemaker. It was right in his facility and would probably have been more interesting had I been able to understand the winemaker through his accent.. Fortunately Irv understood more, probably because he knew the wine terminology! We did get to taste one white and three reds which were quite nice.
Afterwards we headed to a great little restaurant and had a very yummy dinner - pig cheeks for me and ribs for Irv - both very tasty,
