Fish (WAS: [Leica] Lost Faith in Leica)

[nathan.wajsman at planet.nl (Nathan Wajsman)]

The best fresh fish I have had in my life was in San Sebastian in the 
Basque country. We were staying in a hotel overlooking the city, and 
every morning around 7 a.m. we saw the fishermen coming back. The same 
evening we would go to the restaurants and eat that fish. Fantastic!
