¡Vaya Merienda!

La merienda segun Wikipedia es:

"un tipo de comida ligera que se toma a mediodía o, más usualmente, a media tarde o antes de la cena.[1] Suele tomarse un bocadillo, o pieza de pan con embutido, pastas o bollería, acompañado de alguna bebida, fría o caliente, como café, batido, zumo, chocolate caliente o leche, entre otros. También puede consistir en alguna pieza de fruta, yogur, café con leche, etc."

Vaya, parece que nos pasamos un poco. Me voy a tener que poner de dieta cuando volvamos a casa.  ¿Alguien tiene alguna recomendación?

La merienda according to Wikipedia is:
"a light meal[1] in Southern Europe (particularly Spain), Latin America, and the Philippines. Usually taken in the afternoon or for brunch, it fills in the meal gap between lunch at noon and dinner, or between breakfast and lunch. It is a simple meal that often consists of a piece of fruit, cookies, yogurt, and other snacks paired with juice,chocolate, coffee, and other beverages."

Well, this definition doesn´t really apply to the the variety and quantity of food and beverage that was consumed in this merienda.  Does anybody know of any post Spanish vacation diets they would recommend?

Murcia, El Mar Menor

El Mar Menor
It´s not very deep and it´s separated from the rest of the Mediterranean so the water gets super warm.  Its great for the little kids but it gets super salty as well, not so great fot the kids.  
No es muy profunda y está separado del resto del Mediterraneo, guay para los peques pero también hace que el agua este muy salada, no tan guay para los peques.

Disgusting


Little Alejandro will eat peas without problems one day but another won't touch them. We have gotten crafty with our techniques which, although disgusting, work sometimes. Hot dog anyone....

Abuelita

Eli's mom visited from Spain during the first part of the summer. We had a lot of fun hanging out and just being together. We all were completely spoiled rotten on a daily basis with the most authentic Spanish cuisine.............delicious. Natalia misses her a lot and asked Eli if she could go to the airport and pick her up, as if she were just hanging around in the airport. Since she has been gone we have started a new tradition at home, churros for breakfast Sunday mornings (these are not the same things most you have eaten at Disneyland). Delicioso!
