For starters milk and yogurt out of a bag. Green beans con ajo (garlic), and spinach ravioli, salad, and …. Veal. And lots of helado! (ice cream) Honestly, between the regular vegetables and regular ice cream and regular walking I am still undecided whether I intend to engordecer or not (get fat). Is the Air of Buenos Aires really good air?
No. Irony wins. And I’m always congested.
How is your family?
They’re wonderful! They try and feed me and take care of me and really act like family. My mother, Juana, can talk my ear off any moment and always asks about school and is sweet. She’s also a painter. Alberto is an accountant and is very calm and reminds me of my Italian grandfather.
Where are you going to school?
Nowhere yet but I’m allowed to go to a bunch of different universities. I’ll keep you posted. I’m also doing the human rights track and will have a related internship.
Where do you go?
Mostly the park.
The Plaza centenario. It’s the best place ever. Also, other parks, bars, pizzerias.What do people wear?
Black. Gray. White. Pastels. Nothing vibrant or fun. Orange is out.
What are the plusses?
Cheap taxis! Beautiful Parks, the best helado in the world. Anything you could need is in a small business close by. Really close to the party barrio (neighborhood)
The negatives?
I’m really far from the universities and most of the other students.
Sounds great! From my experiences in Budapest, I would put money on you losing weight. Walking so much really does a number. I basically lived on beer, gyros's and cheese ravioli and still managed to lose weight, something I've always had trouble with.
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome that your family is so great! I'm really happy for you!
It's fantastic about the human rights track. That sounds like it will be an amazing fulfilling experience!
