Skiing in France

French slopes are wonderful. Every night  they are being prepared for us skiers. Fast Diesels work all night long to get the slopes nice and smooth so everybody can enjoy their holidays. Even little kids are save and best trained Ski instructors teach them in either  English or French. Since the und resorts are rather high up in the mountains , starting in 2000 m as  is La Plagne, where wie ski the weather is fine with lots of snow over the complete Season.
The Resort where we go is called Le France. Yes LE France...... Whereas  usually you call the country France what in French is LA France. But the Building is called LE France. Maybe that is the Word for building which is LE Batiment. LE Batiment France.

Tapa Bars Spanish Culture

I cannot talk about Spain without praising their restaurant culture. As I mentioned before Spain is famous for their tapa bars called taperías. I don't know anybody who does not like to to there. And it is not for tourists only. It is the Spaniards who love it and that is why they have it. Now you have a look at the delicious pinxos here. As I mentioned before pinxos is the toothpic which holds it all together. You enter the bar grab a plate and serve yourself whatever you like be it different cheeses, eggs, sausage, called salchiza, insalata Russa, or tortilla or a combination of them all. Depending on the length of  the toothpic prices vary usually betreten 1,50€ and 2€ per piece. What a smart  idea.  And of course you get a drink with it .Wine, Beer or non alc but being in Spain it is culture to drink local wines or Spanish beers, very delicious all of it. Trust me!
