Wednesday

Sent a long message to friends and family earlier today. Heard back from several people, and that was nice.

I think I already mentioned it, but my Spanish is starting to get better. I was working on doing a little belated birthday shopping for a friend of mine (sorry K!!), and I was using my Spanish to talk to shop workers. Had a lovely chat with an Argentinian boy in a CD shop, and he complimented my Spanish. I think he was just flirting with me...

The weather is warm again. It was cool for a couple days. I´m sure my nose and cheeks are sunburnt, as I ended up walking all over the city in my quest for a certain couple of gift items (haven´t found them yet, but found another little something something). I walked and I walked and I walked and finally I took the subte home.

Did manage to find myself on the Avenide 9 de Julio. It´s the widest street in the world. It´s divided in to four sections. I took a couple pictures, which don´t do the street justice At All. However, will post them so that you, dear reader, can get an idea of the scope of the street. It´s something like 24 lanes wide -- there are two medians (with mini-parks) so that pedestrians can make it across without being slaughtered.

Last night marked the beginning of my re-entry into the world of tango classes. I´m restarting at the very beginning. I learned some good lessons in my classes in Seattle, but there are basic form elements that they didn´t cover very much. The class only had five other people in it, so we all received extra attention, and that was very good. I felt like I learned a lot yesterday. Whew. Next class is Friday night.

OK. Just wanted to say hi.

Time to go home and rest these poor feet of mine.

ps didn´t mean to post the image twice. Will take care of that later...
