Unknown Bucket List

As I was driving the other day I was thinking about how lucky we've been to experience living in Spain and especially lucky and blessed for all the amazing things we've been able to do here! I, of course, have had places that were on my dream list to go or things to do/see but honestly I didn't think I would get to do many of them in my life. But with living here I've gotten to do so much more and things I never knew I wanted to do or go! I want to remember this so I'm going to keep this post as my "Unknown Bucket List". Or a list of my favorite things as it'll probably turn out to be :) But it still fits so here goes!

So not all of my items are going to be things I've seen or places I've gone to. Some of it, like this one, are things I never thought I'd like! Like green olives....I have never liked green olives, give me black olives any day over green....but green Spanish olives?? OMG SO GOOD! I am seriously going to miss them when we leave. They are the most amazing olives I've ever eaten. Elizabeth is the only one in the fam that shares my love for them though....she's such a little Spanish baby! ;) Mark loathes them, and the other two kiddos don't care for them at all.

Another "food" thing I've found to be amazing is olive oil....once again, the olive oil here is SO much better! They have it at every restaurant and they like to use it with their bread instead of using butter. So when you get a bread basket with dinner you pour some oil on your plate, sprinkle some salt on it and then dip your bread right in. YUM! I don't know what I'm going to do when I go back to the states and all the restaurants don't have olive oil at the ready! They pretty much only use olive oil and vinegar for their salads too, which is super delicious as well. I've become a big fan of that too.

One of my favorite spots here in Spain, somewhat local- it's in a town nearby me, is Puerto Sherry! It's a beautiful little seaside street with homes and restaurants and a beautiful little beach at the bottom of some cliffs in a little cove. One of the places is a yummy breakfast spot with seating looking out at the beach. It's SO beautiful and so perfect! One of my favorite things to have there is a toasted croissant, YUM, and some Spanish hot chocolate! Which is soooo delicious if you haven't ever tried it...it's thicker than the hot chocolate we are used to but I love it!!! I go there with friends for breakfast any chance I can get.

Another one of my favorite things here are these super delicious donuts....they have a honey or chocolate glaze and a chocolate filling that just oozes out when you bite into it...they are super messy, super bad, and sooooo worth it.
