This is my FIFTH flat tire in Spain. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can blame it on the tires. All have been my fault, except the one in Barcelona when a guy on a motorcylce slit my tire with a knife – that one was not.
I think maybe it’s that the streets are narrower, so the curbs are just closer and easier to hit. Makes sense, right?
This time was very innocent. I was taking my friend a poinsettia as a gift for hosting Thanksgiving. On the way, the plant fell over and I reached to put it upright, and boom, I hit the curb. It didn’t go flat until the next day when I was on my way to yoga. But it went super flat! Luckily no damage to the wheel and my expensive insurance covered everything, even the taxi ride to pick it up from the shop.
Post script for two new menu items seen: because I love rabbits as creatures, not as food, I won’t be trying either of these, but I thought they were curious – rabbit ribs and rabbit shoulder with prawns. I’m trying to picture these and it’s just not right!!
