November 17, 2020 - A sweet surprise!

Hi, Elizabeth here to share a quick story even if it is jumping days ahead from the trip to our destination in Chirivel, Spain. We have been here a bit more than a week and have been exploring the area and the closest towns nearby. During this time, I have been trying out my very rudimentary Spanish with the only person we see every day. That is a local goat herder! Anyway, I baked some brownies and gave him one a few days ago, then a some peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. This evening he surprised us with a local baked treat from a town called Obia. He says they are called "rojo" (I am probably not spelling that correctly) and that they should be enjoyed with a glass of wine. Although they resemble doughnuts in the picture, they have nothing in common with a doughnut except the shape and powdered sugar coating. They are dry and crumbly and slightly sweet with some sort of dried fruit. 



Here is the amazing sky this evening, if you zoom in there is a sickle moon
