VIII. TERTULIA. Paloma and I had a
lovely breakfast
for the Tertulia Navideña. We talked
about her kids,
friends, and parents. We spent four lovely
hours
together. We have learned our lesson: no
more events
spaced three weeks apart when the second event
falls
within the Xmas season. From the Basque
Workshop (34)
to the Tertulia (2). But we did have a
very nice
time. J
