Things I’m realizing again about Argentina…
I didn’t forget the mosquitoes, but I sure didn’t miss them while I was in CO.
This is the greenest city I’ve ever visited. The trees and flowering plants are a delight.
“Standard” doesn’t exist.
For every name brand (IPod, Nike, Izod, etc), a hundred pseudo brands exist, much cheaper and more accessible.
Look the opposite way when crossing the train tracks. Trains travel like the cars in Britain, the “wrong” way.
Trash pickup every night, hence, small kitchen trash cans.
Sensational news; they don’t just tell you someone got shot, they’ll show you the body and all that entails.
Disgusting advertising: how do ladies wearing nothing sell clothes?
Purchasing food at individual markets (butcher, fruit & veggie stand, deli, bakery, fish market, chicken market) is cheaper than at the supermarket.
Trying to get more than two things done in a day is just not possible. So don’t try.
Visiting with friends cannot be accomplished in less than three hours; plan on at least four, if not more.
One o’clock in the morning is a great time to start saying good-byes. Good-byes take at least an hour.
No neighborhood consists of cookie cutter homes; all houses are unique, not only in style but in color and building materials.
We really love BA and are once again have come home.

I got incredibly lonesome for you today. I walked over onto your yard and gazed and the grey clouds hovering THE PEAK. I got so melancholy I almost cried. I am so happy that you guys are assimilating and feeling like you are home, buy know you left a hole here in Colorado.
