OLD FRIENDS

 After far too long without all of us seeing each other,  Mac Sarin and Niti Sarin arrived today (after two days in transit from India) in Sevilla for a reunion, of sorts, with the four of us and Claus & Evi Denk who will arrive from Germany tomorrow.  We four had dinner at Acento and along with fabulous service had several excellent dishes. I always love their burrata salad and the slow cooked beef rib. We also had tuna tataki and the cantabrian anchoas. The secret iberico was well received too. #goodfriends.

Claus & Evi arrived around 1:15 from Cordoba, and Macv & Niti came over and we all went to Terraviva for the prix fixe lunch (menu del dia).  We returned to our place and had some good conversation.  We all met up for a cab to go to a flamenco show in Santa Cruz. It was much better than the one we went to with Angela two years ago. Los Gallos was the name of this place and it was excellent.

We walked home through Santa Cruz to the restaurant- 

Then on Saturday morning they all went to the Alcazar and we met later for lunch at d'Italy. 

A long walk along the river for Claus, Evi & Phil before dinner - when Mac & Niti went to the cathedral. Dinner was at Manolo Mayo  and afterward we went to MITO to introduce everyone to Helena.  Then we went back to Mac & Niti's hotel room where the guys had cognac for 
old time's sake"  We had a final farewell photo on the steps at the Mercer.

Everyone left on Sunday morning and by the end of the day the bed linens had been laundered, the beds remade and the towels laundered and replaced on the shelves in the guest bath... awaiting the next guests- Megan & Christian at the end of the week! More fun to come. After getting the guest room prepared we went out to buy wine at the shop around the corner... gotta lay in some supplies LOL.

We ate at home tonight after so many meals out.... the week is fairly quiet (fingers crossed) so we should be able to catch up on email and the other day to day things we do....
