Gaudi - Ravenna


Due to a longer than desired wait at a newish Italian place nearby, we stopped by Gaudi in Ravenna.  It worked out pretty well.  

Was possibly Country Girl's first time at a Spanish restaurant.  I've had tapas before in some fashion in the past and, coincidentally,  recently had paella for the first time earlier in the summer.  It's a smallish place with only a handful of tables.  Bright, cheery interior with lots of art setting an appropriate mood.  


We ordered a couple of tapas and the seafood paella.  Country Girl was a great sport and enjoyed just about everything.  She found the octopus a bit much though.  The sangria left a lot to be desired, surprisingly.  Thin, light in flavor and sadly, sweetened.  The dessert pleasantly knocked it out of the park. 

Hopefully won't be the last time there.

Beck - Marymoor Park

Lots of energy, loads of hits we knew and loved and very light on the mopey, newer material.  Mr. Hansen absolutely delivered the goods.
