Thanks to seista time, we were still able to rest, get our bearings
and enjoy the first day by walking around. Our centuries old hotel is
tiny and perfect. Its location is almost too good. Strolling around
last night, we accidently wandered onto most of our four days worth of
destinations.

We were looking forward to a true Iberica meal and our first tastel
was excellant. Below (if the picture works) are some tapas we had;
jamon on bread, queso on bread and a lobster/muscle/pinapple skewer.
Yum. Yum

Objectified is a new documentary about relationship between manufacturing and design of everyday objects and the people behind the design. I am very excited for this film but will sadly be out of the country during its showing at Cinema 21 in Portland, June 9th. As a designer I wonder how much of deign of an object is overlooked. I hope this movie will have people taking a second or third look at their stapler.
