And a month later...

Admittedly I've truly been slacking off on the blog-front. Apologies to all those with such a keen interest in my activities down here in Buenos Aires. It's pretty hard to believe the semester is wrapping up in less than a month. I'm trying to not think about it.

Well, this past month (god, I really am pathetic at keeping up with el blog!) has been great. I've left the confines of the Argentine borders twice-- once to Rio (words seriously can't describe) and then to the small colonial town of Uruguay called... YEP you got... Colonia (like Colonial Williamsburg but sans reenactments and bonneted townspeople).

Hmmm what else? A ritzy polo match, a McDonald's-play-pen-but-for-hipsters-like art exhibit, an abortion-rights demonstration, a gorgeous sunset, a rain storm that broke the intolerable heat, a visit to an ex-torture camp, fresh-squeezed orange juice from underground subway vendors, a rose garden, a music performance at the Teatro Colón, and some skype conversations with my new dog, Scarlett. 

More to follow.
