Yesterday was Steve’s mumbledy-something birthday!

After having some mid-day birthday cava at Bar Campanario Sara invited us all out for lunch, which was an excellent opportunity to try out an Argentinian restaurant I came across when Nog and I were out cycling the other day. And it was fabulous! We ate so much food that I thought I was going to have to lie down for awhile about half-way through. And the Argentinian cabernet was also delicious. After our meal we were brought some orangy-tasting Argentinian liqueur (on the house) that was very nice. Then the boys ordered dessert. Steve’s came with candles because I’d mentioned to our excellent waiters that it was his birthday. And then Rafael brought over a bottle of cava for us (also on the house) … at which point I had to give up because I couldn’t drink any more.

But a wonderful time was had by all. Afterwards I had to stop by Steve and Sara’s lovely air-conditioned apartment and lie down for awhile before heading home, and Nog went off to teach a class. Then I came home and rested some more, and unfortunately had to turn down Sara’s invitation to return to their place for some more birthday celebrating. Damn chemo!
