1!
1. - Presenters: We have four people: Kutz
Arrieta,
Milagros Mezo, Javier Larrinaga and Nick
Vroman. I
gave Kutz Arrieta Nick's email address
so that the
presenters can get in touch
with each other and decide on the details
of the
program.
2. Robert just told me that Javier will
cook Basque
food and the participants (at least those
wanting to
try Basque food) will pay an extra fee
for the meal.
Gero Arte means So long! in Basque, but
for at this
time of night I think I should say Gabon!
