A Concert and Food to Share

 On the final night of Vendimia, there was a concert (Alejandro Sanz) in a beautiful amphitheater nestled in the hills. We didn't get tickets.  Instead we sat ourselves in the hills and watched from above with everyone else who didn't get (or didn't want to pay for) tickets. It was great. In order to get a spot big enough for us all to sit together, we got there hours early and had a picnic. Lindsey and I found a pintrest recipe for zucchini sticks and decided to make some to share with everyone. To get the ingredients we rented bikes. Here's the picture version of our adventures. 

All of the bikes were this awesome teal color. We didn't think to check what time it opened, so Lindsey, Carrie, and I met there at 9:00; one hour before we would be able to do anything. So we walked to a bike rental place in the park, that was way way more expensive. In the end we came back to this place.

We biked to a grocery store. And bought all of our ingredients.

And then this. That would be a VERY flat tire. I don't recommend trying to bike with a tire like this. It's friggin hard work. We walked it back to the rental place.

After lunch, Lindsey and I commenced the creating processes for our zucchini sticks. 

Bread crumbs (Molly, you don't have any of those. Do you?), Italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese. 

Cover the zucchini in egg, then the bread crumb mixture. We got a nice little assembly line going.

Bake. Ovens here are gas. Which means too things: 1. You start it with a match 2. It's one temperature.

They were so delicious. I was so happy that so many people loved them.

And fire works. It was incredible to be so high up watching them. They seemed so close.
