Bombs in Buenos Aires

As you may have heard on the news, there were three bombs planted in ATM kiosks on Wednesday. A security guard was killed, and a fireman injured.

I didn't find out about this until yesterday, from someone in Seattle... I only read the local [English language] newspaper on Fridays.

I was sitting in a cafe on the Avenida 9 de Julio (aka, the widest street in the world, clocking in at 14 or so lanes), having tea with someone from the residence. I don't yet know exactly where the bombings were (I haven't read the paper I bought at lunch).

So, I'm fine. At least it wasn't an embassy or consulate -- I was having tea in the heart of the embassy/consulate neighborhood (the friend is an embassy intern).
