My Year of the Life of Leisure

I left my job, left my apartment, sold most everything in that apartment and embarked on a year of travelling and leisure. I am working on writing a couple of books. This might be one of them... But then, my chief pursuit is leisure, so who knows exactly what will happen.

Yesterday´s choice

So, of course I opted for the siesta yesterday.

I didn´t finish my homework until late in the evening. The same guy and I made dinner again last night, and another woman joined us. I´m liking the communal living and cooking atmosphere. Well, I should also admit that I have a private room, so I can be alone when I want to be. Everyone does different activities (some have internships, and most everyone else is either studying tango or Spanish, or both), so we don´t generally see much of each other until the end of the day.

Dinner last night was my creation. I will call it Primero Ensalda de Shana. Lettuce, cherry tomatoes, boiled potatoes, portobello mushrooms (only 40cents a pound!!), sauteed garlic, sauteed red peppers, sauteed chicken breast. Cabernet and Merlot mix vino tinto. Rich and fruity yogurt for dessert. Amongst three people, the cost was about 3.50 USD. Including the wine.

It will be difficult to return to the states and pay American prices on anything. It will be even more difficult in Europe to pay those high Euro prices.

Maybe I will just stay here...

    I am really enjoying your blog. You have a wonderful opportunity and it's so nice to read of you taking full advantage of what you've worked so hard to earn. I'll be following your adventures and dreaming of the day I can have a year of leisure of my own.
