I arrived safely in Buenos Aires (BsAs) yesterday, and made it through my first day of orientation today. Now that I'm in this for keeps, here comes the blog! Who knows how often I will blog, but I'll do the best I can to keep you updated!
Everyone wants to know where I live, and how my host family is. Well I live in a nice area that my cab driver called El Barrio Norte, and one map showed it as Recoleta, and another as Alto Palermo. So, I think I live in one of those places. Don't quote me on that! I live in an apartment with a wonderful 82-year-old woman Señora Judith. My Señora is so sweet, and so full of energy. I would have guessed late 60s. Her friend, whose name I can't seem to catch (give me a break, Argentines have a very different accent, and these ladies are in their 80s) seems to spend a lot of time with Señora Judith. Judith is so sweet, and her friend is pretty sassy and hilarious. At dinner tonight, we had cuadríl, a type of beef, and I said I was full, and there was one piece left. Señora Judith asked if I wanted it, and I replied that I was full, and her friend said <<¡Come!>>, which is the command form for "Eat!". So, I ate it. Then she laughed and said, now I have TWO mothers here.
Here is my bedroom. Nora made my bed today (after I already did it). She cleans the house once a week.
Here's the living room. Right out those curtains is a balcony, that is quite nice.
The kitchen, obviamente.
The washer (no dryer included)
Oh, that must be the key to the treasure chest! Actually the front door.
Bechie - I am so excited for your adventure!
ReplyDeleteI love the key, I had one just like that in Italy! At least you have a sink big enough to wash some clothes in. I had to wash all of mine in a tiny pedestal sink and then hang them all over the furniture to dry. Cute place very European.
