ease join us on 26 May for a visit to the Mona Foundation. The Mona
Foundation is a rescue center for primates (chimpanzees and macaques)
located in Girona. More information regarding the center, their primates
and activities is available on their website:

Depending on how many people join us, we can vote on which of the following
options we are most interested in:
-A guided tour for groups of 10 or more. The tour will last about 1,5 hours
and costs €6 per person.
-A guided tour with workshop for children 3 and up. The tour plus workshop
lasts approximately 2 hours and costs €9 per person.
MONA Foundation is located in Riudellots de la Selva, Carreterra de la
Selva, Km 4, only 10 km from Girona. Directions to the center can be found

Please note that the MONA Foundation is most easily accessed by car.
If you are interested in joining us, please contact Francesca Facchini at
francesca@facchini.net no later than 16 MAY. Please let her know in which
of the two tours you are interested and also if you would be willing to
carpool or in need of a ride. Depending on the numbers and preference, we

Thursday, February 05, 2009Here is a very easy and very delicious recipe. It was given to me by a co-worker years ago, a Catalan woman who loathed cooking and yet felt obliged to provide great food for her family. So she had developed a number of cack-hand-proof dishes. The only thing you really need to watch here is that it doesn?t burn.
