Hello all,
Well, still here. Sorry to leave so briefly on the last post. After lunch and a nap now, and I am feeling oh-so-nice. John and I are in this sweet little apartment in a neat barrio that is realatevly close to his mom and sister's apartment here. It is warmly comforting to see so many familiar faces so far from where I saw them last. How lucky I am! I was getting a little nostalgic this last week about home, family and Colorado, so seeing bits of that is so lovely. So, yea here I am in Buenos Aires! wohoooooooo!!!! I have wanted to come here for a while now, so I am really glad to be here now. It is soooo big and I have seen a fingernail of it, but so far I like it. The Argentinians here are so different than the Chileans. I feel like I am in Denver or something. Everyone is Super fit, and has really light skin and there are more blondes here than I have seen in.... A very long time. Ingrid, John's mother actually told me that Argentina has the Highest anorexia rate in the world! Ironic, given that the food here is o good! She was also saying how self-conscious so many of the people are here, and how some of them won't even dance on the beach during a concert. wow. BUT, that is just a very, very small population of this country and im sure in no way represents any kind of national sentiment. Both John and I have contacts here, so we'll hopefully get to see and experience more of the culture as we continue our trip. yay! Glad to be here... So glad, in fact, that I am going to go experience it Right Now. Keep you posted...
Chau!
