I received an email from a friend that made me realize my last post is a little ambiguous. Especially if you lead a very busy life raising two precocious children while being in your most difficult semester of nursing school and so therefore have limited internet-reading time. We're not actually "home," yet. Instead, we're settled in a small village, Villa General Belgrano, enjoying the Argentine countryside while carping about overly touristed places. (Everything here in this faux-German village, where several of the residents are descendants of survivors of a wrecked German U-boat from 1939, is a tad twee.)
But we do, finally, have tickets back to the States. We leave Buenos Aires on the evening of May 8 and arrive in Los Angeles the following morning. Five weeks from now. I can't quite believe the year is almost over.
