This of course the famous line not always attributed to Jeffrey Frantz in retrospect about the wondrous human Shannon K. McGuinness. For some reason, gin and tonic is the national cocktail of Madrid. And it was in this spirit we trusted ourselves as we tried to ‘go local’ almost five years ago, when we were new and budding Madrileños. One evening in the early days of our ‘teaching cohort orientation’ we found ourselves sitting next to each other at Cafeína, a little bar de copas in Malasaña and, well, we hit it off. Chemistry in the alchemy of the space. Even so, we passed a couple years as friends until Fortuna gave us the opportunity to come together, this time with a potential for…more. Thankfully, unlike the movie Casablanca, more is what we got, and what we get. Thank you for joining us or thinking of us as we celebrate the beginning of the next new chapter in our lives! We love you all.
