“Happy experiences tend to repeat themselves.”
Ms. Marshall comes to Gijón/Xixón from Harvard University, in Massachusetts, to attend the First International Congress of Gijónomy, a science in which she is a renowned scholar… although only on a theoretical level, truth be told. Everything goes smoothly: the city is not only welcoming and surprising, but it has infrastructure and professional services that guarantee the success of any event of this nature.
But Ms. Marshall, who thought she was an expert, felt like a layman when she discovered that there was much more to people than she had been told. It’s okay, in a couple of days she became just another gijonuda. He says that he might stay here… “because he lends himself to life.”
