Wow! All these interesting things about you. I'm glad we have some in common: I love music, love swimming. I'm bilingual too, I speak Igbo, my native language. I speak a little French and Hausa too. I've always wanted to learn Spanish, sounds like a sweet melodious tune whenever I hear it on TV.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in these awards!
I haven't heard of Gambas al Pil Pil before, but it sounds good and I'm salivating right now. :)
Congratulations on your awards! I too love to swim (though never competitively) and while I was not raised in Gibraltar, I have been their twice. Me encanta! Again, congrats!
ReplyDeleteThank you both for your comments! I will have to post a picture of my gambas next time I make them!
