VISITAS

Since I`ve arrived here, I`ve had 3 visits from out-of-town friendles. The first was Asun, Marcela`s friend. The second was Greggo. The third, Marcy. Marcy leaves tomorrow and Greg leaves Wednesday. I will then have a few days to myself at the end of the week, which I will surely fill up with lots of reading and lots of running around La Plata and the public parks in Buenos Aires. And maybe buying a guitar. And definitely going to my favorite pizzería, PIZZERIA GUERRIN.

During this time, I have gotten to know the city really, really well and am starting to feel almost like a tour guide, now that I have a spiel for every landmark in the city, most of which are within walking distance of my apartment in San Telmo.

During this time, I have also lost and found a debit card and I continue to work out my housing situation in La Plata. I have come to the conclusion that it`s best to live close to where all my work, my students, and my classes are. So the search continues, this time with lots of help from coworkers, and a small crew of international students in the same search process.

Hi! Glad to hear your tour guide skills are honed for visitors, being a future member of that group! The Spanish vocabulary postcards are going up around the house, (at Jerry's suggestion)in an effort to recall those forgotten words and terms. Good luck in the La Plata market, and thanks again for posting the wonderful pictures! :-)
