In both texts, the author reminisces about anecdotes in her life, in her hometown of Saladillo as well as where she currently lives, in Corpus Christin, in Misiones. The stories reveal the influence that the knowledge of being a Basque descendant had on the author. Remember that Leiciaga is part of the founding board of directors of the Basque clubs in both Saladillo and Corpus Christi.
