Don Quijote Dialogue 2 (with Amable) – D57

I have been a “little” sick and my nose was dropping like a faucet, so I didn’t enjoy too much the Don Quijote dialogue. Today Karen joined us and brought Manchego cheese, quince jelly, and crackers (very thoughtful and Spaniard). Ana Isa also joined us for the dialogue. We discussed chapters IV and VI.

Later, we went to see the new MPC space and to visualize what we would like it to be and make a wish list. After that, it was lunchtime and I went home since I was sick. 

Don Quijote Dialogue 1 – with two great Quijotes, Amable and Giancarlo – D52

The countdown to our first Don Quijote dialogue finally came to an end, and to open these series of dialogues we had two great and true Quijotes! Amable facilitated the dialogue, although it was more of a lecture, and Giancarlo joined us for most of it. We also had Karen, Carla, and Susette España as guests. At first we shared our impressions of the book and feelings toward it. Then, Amable explained to us in a very detailed way the first three sentences of the first chapter of Don Quijote. It was a great dialogue. It’s just a pleasure to hear someone so educated and a great example like Don Amable.

Reading Don Quijote @ Jardín Ayau – D51

Because we left early today, along with Isa, Pablito, and Grace, we decided to read Don Quijote out loud. We went to the Jardín Ayau and had a pleasant evening, enjoying the wonders of Miguel de Cervantes’ masterwork. We started reading from the beginning that was the prologue, then some sonnets, and finally the first four chapters. Don Quijote is something really enjoyable that leaves you a lot of teachings and anecdotes. It’s the story of human nature so every reader would have his or her own Quijote.

After the reading, we went to the MPC and encountered with Chacho, and with Isa had a very nice dialogue about many topics, including the culture building of the MPC and some fun stories about each of us. It was a very nice time for sharing and knowing a little more of each other. We left at around 8 p.m.
