The Parador Hotels (“Los Paradores De Turismo De España”) are a chain of luxury hotels dotted all over Spain. Toledo has one, of course!
It has a lovely terrace where you can enjoy a meal or a drink and watch the sunset. And that’s just what we did a couple of weeks ago.
Gorgeous! Haven’t seen the sun in days, so I guess this will have to tide me over for now.

This is the kind of place where I’d hang out every night with a beer and a book.

You’ll need the book – the service is terminally slow!

Wow, stunning! Really – absolutely no sarcasm this time! I’d be there every night too – annoying Anna while she was trying to read her book 😉

It’s her standard response to all Latvians who chase her down the street with a meat cleaver. You must have triggered her in some way…

Polly eats Krispy Kremes instead of ‘ponchiki’ in Moscow. Blasphemy. That girl and I are gonna have WORDS. (my god, I am picking fights with EVERYONE today!)

I remember the week Krispy Kreme came to London, my friend (from Phoenix) ordered 12 boxes!

That is sick but excusable bc London doesnt have ponchiki. Ponchiki can rival Munich pastries. THAT good.

I have faith in Russian pastries. The ones I had in Moscow 26 years ago (and yes,I do remember!) were fab. Mmmmmmh… makes me want to pay another visit….

You’ve not got an urgent translation job to finish, and you’ve not been out riding either, is my guess. Result: Belligerence.
Solution: donuts.

Actually no freelance stuff this w/e, and two days of riding, but my dear sis called my gallop (she came w me today to observe) ‘weak, wobbly and your ass looks humungous while you’re doing it’ and my blog ‘a well-executed mediocrity.’ So I am taking it out on you people 🙂
