Beautiful spring day

A humid spring day, not a cloud in the sky.

I teach two English class sections in the early afternoon. We read Langston Hughs and Walt Whitman and consider what "the truth" means to them, and to us. We watch a clip from "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown".

I get a visit from K-Gore, lovely cordobesa Fulbright friend and we drank tereré and talked about what we want to be when we grow up. She's had a Fulbrighty revelation: American Studies professor! I want to be her student. I have some ideas, we'll see.

I find a flank steak the size of my head at the grocery store and eat it. Cost: 2.30 pesos argentinos ( about 70 cents US).

I study Portuguese and eat dulce de leche wit' a spoon.

Thank you, Mister Fulbright.

Cheers,
Charly
