(Or Winter Solstice for those of you in Australia, I suppose!)
We celebrated the longest day of the year last night with some good family friends and a feast of epic proportions! Mmm. Spanish omlette [tortilla de patatas], spinach pie [pastel de espinacas], nachos [...nachos], sausages [chorizos], and cheese and garlic bread [pan con ajo y queso]. Plus, of course, plenty of wine [vino], cake [pastel] and ice cream [helado]!We danced, told jokes and riddles and stories, had a midnight swim in the pool, and sang Shakira songs at the top of our voices. Also, I was finally taught how to play the castanets properly!
This party also served as a bit of a goodbye for me to these particular friends - Cristina and Reuben, and Mila, Ricardo and Nacho. All of whom are lovely, welcoming and hilarious people, who I feel so lucky to have met.
Why goodbye? Because um, I go home in less than a week, apparently. What? When did that happen!?
