Mauriet

saturday lunchtime
fusion cuisine cuban french
and hours of talk

Julie and Mauriet met as they were on a trainee course three years ago. Although we don't see her and her companion Fabrice so much, we do keep in touch. They invited us yesterday and we had a great time with them, eating good food and talking of varied subjects ranging from manga to metempsychosis, living in Cuba (Mauri was born in Cuba, emigrated to the USA when she was a teenager, and has now been living in France for a few years) under the Castro regime, Portugal (Fabrice's parents immigrated from Salazar's Portugal at the beginning of the 1970s).


Three times Mauri.

In the evening, I participated in the street performance event organised by the village's cultural commission. There were actors, poets, storytellers, and singers (that was us!). A two-and-a-half-hour walk through the village streets retracing its history and celebrating the night. It was supposed to be organised in accordance with a national day against light pollution (called the "Day of Night"), but it was therefore weird that we perambulated with lanterns, torchlights, phone lights etc. :-D
