Spanish Summer Evening
Imagine yourself on a hot but breezy Summer night in Spain. You have a succulent plate of Paella in front of you, the fragrant clams and shrimp waifting up. There is a soft hum of Flamenco guitar and the swirl of a Flamenco dress. You are sipping a cold beer. The adventure begins.
