The amazing Roadshow has come to an end. Wow. What an experience…… could I ever forget……:
Jujuy….how do you PRONOUNCE it? spell it? agonising over whether a carnivore should or shouldn’t eat cuddly animals llike llamas…can you resist llama kidneys in white wine……
Salta….agonising over whether sucking coca leaves is (or isn’t) legal….
Running (by the grace of heavenly powers, and the kindness of Maria Jose) a session from the Universidad Catolica for a conference in Madrid
Tucuman….hot,hot,hot….taping a polystyrene makeshift screen to the wall, and the world’s cutest projector…
Santiago del Estero….and the reaction to us ordering a taxi in the rain….“A taxi! ha ha – sorry, it’s RAINING!!!!” (Can you imagine that in England ha ha)
……or asking what time a restaurant will open….’Nueve y algo….” (My favourite time: neuve y algo. Can you imagine that in Germany?)
And finally, Cordoba….ten minutes before the plenary and the door is locked and you haven’t hooked up the MacAir to the projector – but am I worried? worried I am not. It’s Argentina time…..hang loose and all will be well…..and it was!
Wonderful memories of superb organsiation (thanks, Calum), great co-trainers (Ricardo / Rosa; Ceci; Ana; Lucia and Jen); sharing and input….
Here are my plenaries as Handouts:
Plenary 1 –plenary1
Plenary 2 –plenary2
Nice travelling out with Nik Peachy, and meeting Nicky Hockly and Gavin Dudeney on the way back. a truly amazing professional (and life-enhancing) experience. Thanks, British Council.
Hi! It was a great pleasure to meet you and share with you these seminars in Cordoba. I learnt a lot from you (your seminars and books). Thanks for the lovely dinner I shared with you, Jennifer and Lucia. A reminder… JUJUY is pronounced as WHO, WHO and then you add the /i:/ sound! Hope to see you again soon! Smiles from Cordoba, Maria :)
