¡Feliz Año!

Happy New Year!


In Spain, when the clock strikes midnight, it is traditional to eat one grape on each of the twelve chimes. Cameron and I bought grapes to partake but found out our grapes had seeds ... instead we just ate twelve grapes at midnight, not in time with the chimes. I'm not even sure its possible to fit twelve grapes in your mouth at one time. Anyway ... Happy new year everybody!
