more birthday fun

My Dublin pal Michele (you pronounce that Mi-ke-lay) was back in town this past weekend and we met up for a Beer O’clock that turned into a full-on afternoon full of deliciousness. Yet more birthday fun (it ain’t over till it’s over). First we went to Ultramarinos Casa Lucas because I was finishing up my next Bitesize Sevilla article and needed some photos, and after that Michele was happy to accompany me (and Peter) while I did further research, this time to a brand new wine bar that just happens to be directly across the street from my previous Casa Az. You remember, the one where I didn’t get any sleep for five years.

Anyhoodle, both stops were fabulous, and as always, it was great catching up with Michele again, who says he’ll be back in Sevilla a few more times this year as there are several concerts he wants to attend. Later on he also went to Augurio. Like me, he is totally in love with that place and not only visits every time he’s here but (also like me) he sends everyone he knows there when he hears they are visiting Sevilla. Hasta la próxima!

Yes, ANOTHER birthday lunch. This time with these lovely chicas. We went to Raíces for a peruvian feast and it was so great to meet up and catch up. The pisco sours, peruvian beer and wine flowed, as did the non-stop conversation (we may have raised the noise level a few decibels, oops). All of us are at “new chapter” stages in our lives, at different ages (obvs) and with completely different backstories. But the main thing in common, the most important thing, is that we all connect, we all “get it” and we all supportive of each other. I feel very lucky to have these feisty ladies as my friends.
