Te extrañaba también!

So my hiatus is officially OVER. Phew, I know, me too. I will take this time to update you fools on what I have been doing (and not doing) during my time, in a segment I'd like to call, "you try tearing yourself away from this".

But before I start, I would like to say HBTM (happy birthday to me)!! Even though I hate my own birthday, I am now 24 and feel more responsible and therefore need a blog. For this blog post, I grace you with a video of my grandmother (part namesake, part angel) blowing out her candles.

Also, I'm a little rusty, give me a couple of days here.







Te quiero G-MA! And perritos!

The View

Today I utilized our balcony, as the view of Palermo from our new apartment is very pleasant.

La Nación featured an article about my new employer, The Argentimes, in today's paper. I believe the article can be sumed up best by editor Kristie Robinson's quote explaining The Argentimes' stance on covering journalism. The writers do not pretend to explain Argentine culture from the experience of a native. Instead, the biweekly takes Argentine issues, both from the campo and the city, and explains why they are important to the English-speaking community in Buenos Aires (um, and indirectly THE WORLD). As Buenos Aires continually attracts more visitors and expats, the paper offers a fresh and relevant point of view to a growing market. You can read the entire article here. Beware, it's in kastejanoh (castellano).

Moving Day

Today is moving day. Very excited, can't wait to share all the dirty details about our new place in swanky Palermo. As for now, I leave you with the first man we met upon arrival in Buenos Aires, our doorman and protector, Miguel...

Also, tonight Argentina plays Nigeria for the gold in soccer. WATCH. You know who to cheer for.
