So all this was on my mind as we were taken to a dinner hosted by Raol Padilla, Head of Guadalajara International Book Fair (aka FIL) in a boutique hotel designed by Luis Barragan. The dining room, which was in fact a 2-storey, floor-to-ceiling library, had just the one table and looked out onto a gorgeous courtyard. I sat opposite Ofelia Medina, an actress active since the 70s who played Frida Kahlo in, not the 2002 Salma Hayek movie, but a 1983 Mexican one, Frida: Naturaleza Viva (which Mexicans generally rate the better of the two). A charming lady and wonderful food. I didn't mention the match.
