Finalmente, empanadas perfectas- de chocolo, roquefort, carne suave, jamon y queso...
Christin was a high school exchange student with a family here and they have visited each other and stayed in contact for all this time. The younger daughter, Malaly (Maria Laura) was a bridesmaid in Christin's wedding even. So the parents and Malaly picked us up from the airport, took us to their three story penthouse, fed us demaciados empanadas y el helado mas rico en el mundo- de doble chocolate y dulce de leche tan buenisima (I immediately took a Pept0- lactose intolerant, or lacking self-control...? no se...)
La familia increible: Juan Carlos, Claudia, Malaly, Nacho, Christin, y Nico
Christin and I then went out with Malaly, her boyfriend Nacho, and her brother Nicolas to meet with some friends when dinner finished at 11. We needed a toast of Quilmes to new friends and to being in BA. Oof, we checked into our hotel at 4 am. John I wish you could be here!
Las tres companeras: Cwis, Malaly, y Cari
Today we had clase a la UBA- mas de negocios. After class we took a small siesta, then went to the local "hippie" market stalls. We took a taxi to Malaly's y tomamos cafe y fuimos para cenar in a restaurant k fue fantastic. Fantastico. We need to go to sleep earlier tonight, so now it is 11 45 and hopefully to sleep by midnight. (Quien soy? no estoy dormienda a las 10??)
Driving around these streets I am so happy. I get jittery. This city has a certain feel, an essence, it is hard to explain. I love being with locals. I love how beautifully dressed all the women are. I love how cultured the city is, yet so distinctly Argentinean. Estoy tan feliz. John I can't wait to bring you here! (and maybe stay?? start working on that castillano :) )
muchos abrazos- we'll be very busy tomorrow and wednesday, but I'll do my best to keep updating.
que rico k puedo dormir en la ciudad mas mejor en todo el mundo !

Charming post, you bilinguist :), you seem to be having a heady time of it. Do post pictures of Argentina, a country I am not familiar with...
Vale Argentina eh!!!
Que rico q pudiste comer empanadas y tomar quilmes!! Mucho suerte con todo el viaje por alli en BA! Pero queiro ver los fotos con Clelia y Faviola tambien!!
I know...B.A. is the perfect city. European sophistication with hot Latin culture! Being there with Eric was hands-down my fav vacation ever (beside the honeymoon, of course!). In fact, we were even looking at which neighborhood we would rent an apartment in!
