Nuroma

I have forgotten yesterday to tell you this. On Saturday I have had de pleasure to attend a conference of Rita Levi Montalcini. She is the winner of the 1986 Nobel Prize in Medicine.

She is now an old woman, she was born on 1909. But I find on her a energetic woman who knows is at the end of her days in this world. She has some health problems but she continues working.

I think there's a sentence in her autobiography that defines how is she: "At twenty, I realized that I could not possibly adjust to a feminine role as conceived by my father, and I asked him permission to engage in a professional career"

In my opinion she is really a small-big woman.

Last weekend I have become in a tourist in my own city. My italian friends have come to Barcelona for a week. In this long (Monday was a free-day for me) weekend we have visited: the city center, the Batllo's House, Guell's Park, the district of Gracia...

In the Batllo's House I met Lola Herrera and her daugther (she is an actress too). By the way, I recommend you visit this house but the terrace of this is nothing specially. However, the terrace of "La Pedrera" is impressive and the view too.

On Sunday, we went to my home for lunch. My mum cooked a "paella", it was the best one I have tasted in the last months. Obviously they thinked as me.

Tomorrow we will go to my sister's house to have dinner. It would be a bit of everything: Spanish omelette, prawns, bread with tomatoe...

Unfortunately I was on diet and it this week has benn forgotten... But I will return on it next week!!!!

In her blog there is a “photo album” with some photos about her trips: the Seychelles, Kenya.  Something to make us green with envy.
