Buenos Aires

I smile as I write that because I want to write "as promised".

11 hours in coach wasn't as bad as it could have been. I shared a row with a girl that could have been me 10 years ago- wide eyed to the world, wanting to teach, moving back to her folks to save money. We have all been there.

It was interesting to be on the other side of me, someone who is super friendly, loud, loving life and a bit of a free spirit. It was refreshing. I get why folks are attracted to me, I'm funny and am easy to get along with. Everything's an adventure. Everything.

Landing in BA - well it looks like north Carolina. The leaves are changing because it is fall, which I knew but forgot.

My driver doesn't speak much English, and my Spanish is terrible, so we are getting along with him speaking in Spanish and me saying Ahh a lot.

My hotel is nice. Now I am in the bar waiting for my friends to show up for dinner (its almost 10 but that's how they do it here). Across from me is a banker from south Africa that keeps trying to engage in small talk. He seems skeevey and keeps taking his ring off and on. Eew, no. I've done "married but dating" and it is just not worth the price of admission. Tomorrow I will see some city.

I did watch a rugby match on espn between cuba and paraguay that was interesting. Although, I was trying to fall asleep, so really anthing would have done.

the bar in the hotel-- the "Library" so civilized.
