¡Hasta la vista!

Yesterday we enjoyed an end of school year drink together, those of us who could make it. We will renew our activities the last week in September. Wishing everybody safe and happy holidays in the company of Nature, friends and family.

Una tertulia

The Spanish love a tertulia, a good conversation. At the same time they can be very passionate about their views on football and politics so to have a good conversation the silent rule is to avoid these topics which in this day and age is not easy. Well, in any day and age. Still we try. We hold the conversation in English, a good strategy to bring people together from different walks of life. Using the English language to express opinions helps harness a natural tendency to be over dogmatic. Each of us brings our own repertoire of travel tales and humorous anecdotes as well as interesting proposals for discussion. I have always shared Washington Irving's view that you will find the greatest nobility in the ordinary people of Spain. See this for yourself. Come and enjoy our 'tertulia' on Wednesday. asedow@gmail.com
