One of our friends is called Montserrat. She is originally from Barcelona, but lives in England and is a professor at the University of Canterbury. She is here for six months doing research on the Catalan community in Argentina and other South American countries. She is also an avid tango dancer.

Today, she invited Venetia and me to have lunch with her at Casal Catalunya, which is basically Catalan House. It’s a lovely old building, with a great restaurant in it. We were treated to a selection of little dishes chosen by the chef, Damian, and it was a very different, and lovely, way to enjoy lunch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now I’m home relaxing a bit, because later I’m going out again to a dinner party at the home of some friends. I will definitely be rolling into bed tonight after all this eating and drinking and talking!
