Spanish people usually know there are three main versions of the pastel ruso: the aragonés, the one from Bibao which is conceptually closer to Alfaro´s version, though less delicate by much, and the Alfaro version, which many people ask friends of theirs to buy for them when they get close to Alfaro.

I'm wondering if you remember an old black and white photo that hung in a bar in el Puerto. It was of a matador lying on the ground in the plaza de toros and the bull is on top of him, about to gore his eye. I'm wondering what the name of the matadorsstaashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041627695470396951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757820.post-91098948184531506692012-05-04T18:21:28.440-04:002012-05-04T18:21:28.440-04:00I've had a dreadful time in Europe with Hertz....I've had a dreadful time in Europe with Hertz. In October I returned a Hertz car at the train station in Chambery as per the agreement. The Hertz return location is not marked logically. In fact, because it was Sunday, a local man parked in the ONE bay designated. There was a mail slot on the wall of the bay--not marked but the ONLY mail slot, so I dropped in the keys, caught the train.

I missed Don when he was alive and I miss him now. I did get to see him in 2003, 2006 and 2010. The last time I saw him, when I took the main picture on this blog, I had a feeling it would be my last. Kay and I spent about a hour with him.
