Ah yes, gazpacho. Me luvs that as well.  But they make it different back home (Mexico City) than they do n.o.b. (north of the border). But the best treat we've had is fresh octopus, as we did in Acapulco in 2000.  Deelish. As we ate ours, fishing boats were passing by with some more freshly

Hi Gilly, Rod has been on Lipitor for quite a while now (genetic cholesterol problems) and it has been great at lowering everything, no side effects experienced. We read up also - (be alert, not alarmed!) so I think if you decide to take it you need to weight up the benefits of lower choles
