On March 15th we arrived in Buenos Aires after 29 hours of flying from Tucson to LAX to Mexico City and finally to Buenos Aires. We are still getting used to being 5 hours later in Buenos Aires. Falling asleep even at 2 AM is a struggle - fortunately our unadjusted sleep schedule coincides nicely with the typical late nights in Argentina. The restaurants will not even seat you before 9PM. Thankfully, Todd has fully recovered from his health scary and is bravely confronting any famously large and juicy Argentine steak that stands in his way.Buenos Aires is a dramatic change from Guatemala. The people are hip and fashionable; the city streets are crowded with European looking and sounding people; and the culture is more New York urban than Guatemala gritty.We have rented a little apartment in the Palermo Viejo neighborhood which is flanked by an ice cream shop and a great little café.The city center is a 15 minute subway ride away and we have more restaurants in the surrounding 5 blocks of our apartment than we could ever dream to experience in one month. The Spanish accent in Argentina is fairly difficult to understand which was a little off-putting at first. The portenos (or people from Buenos Aires) don't have quite the same patience for fumbling Spanish as most Guatemalans. Nevertheless, we are starting to warm up to the city (which is easy to do given the high 80s/90s degree temperatures) and the people. We visited the Recoleta Cemetary and Church last Saturday and enjoyed a nice summer afternoon listening to a free live reggae concert on the grass. We felt like locals - minus the summer tans and any comprehension of the lyrics. Todd has found a great Spanish language tutor and has met with her at the local coffee shop for the last two mornings. Christina is going to start up with this tutor next week. We have also enjoyed many incredible meals with Claire Williams and Eve Peters, two friends from Stanford. Life is good in Buenos Aires.
