I had wanted to meet all of Neb’s family, including his wife Cristin, and younger daughter, 5-year old Celia. So, that evening, Neb drove down to the Holiday Inn Express again, with his family.
Very close to the hotel was an Argentinian restaurant, La Boca Bar and Grill, within easy walking distance. I said I would treat them to dinner there. It turned out to be quite good, and not at all busy. Neb seemed to be fully knowledgable about Argentinian cuisine, and ordered Asador with verve and confidence. I was more cautious, given that I had eaten only hospital food for nearly two weeks (good though it was), and that I was recovering from an angiogram, so I ordered Barramundi; that turned out to be a good choice.
Alice and Celia shared an Antipasto Platter (they are quite adventurous eaters!). Cristin also chose the ‘Barra’.
I’ve already said how impressed I was with Alice. Celia is a delightful 5-year old. When we first met, when she was hand-in-hand with her father, she was a little shy (“Who is this strange man my father is introducing me to?”), but it didn’t take long for her to get used to me, and we were soon interacting well. She is a very cute 5-year old, with a great little personality. (She just turned 6 years old!)
It was good to finally meet Cristin. I had seen many Facebook posts from Cristin and Neb containing countless cute photos of their daughters, and knew that she is a Dramaturge. (I had to look that up!). She is a very interesting lady.
We enjoyed a good meal, and then we all walked back to the hotel. Neb and family drove back home, and I went to my room, and to bed.
