octopus and squid

clams (sorry, forgot to take a picture before we ate them all!)

intestines

after dinner we headed to Grandfather's Bar

and met these characters

they really liked Kim Ann and Silvia!

we requested some songs from Grandfather's huge record collection... but they didn't have them!
