Euskera visits Ireland and the White House
Good afternoon Basques-
It’s nearly the weekend here as we look forward to San José on Friday…
Meanwhile, there’s been some interesting posts on our Basque People Around the World wall. It turns out that even as far back as 1960 an American – keen on Jai Alai – was determined to produce a Basque-English dictionary. Strangely enough, he was a White House police official!
Our Irish readers will be interested to know that the second edition of the Royal Basque Language Academy’s cultural magazine Erlea includes a special feature on Ireland, its history and literature, thanks to the collaboration of writer-journalist Paddy Woodworth.
Taking a break from rebuilding the kitchen at his famous Mugaritz restaurant, Basque chef Andoni Aduriz turned up in Australia yesterday to promote his restaurant at the Melbourne Food & Wine festival.
Also out in Australia is Zarautz’s Aritz Aranburu, who got to the third round of the Drug Aware Pro Championship in Margaret River. Compatriot Eneko Acero wasn’t so fortunate.
Lastly, for events coming up in the Basque Country: tickets have gone on sale for the Urban Dance competition Break on Stage, held every year in Bilbao. Making an appearance at this year’s event is, among others, London’s DJ Renegade.
That’s the news for today – Ostegunarte!
