Baires, 270307

Well, I am going to use the blog as a sort of "Dear Diary" thing. I should have started this earlier, but I have been busy being a good tourist:-). Whilst I promise I will post sometime later the what'bouts of previous 26 days, I decided to start this today because I am all cranky. I shouldn't have left the apartment today as I walked four straight hours just because I can't read map. Or, because I read map upside-down and inside-out. I am a gifted child (this surely will make my parents proud... things I do to be a good daughter) who was born without any sense of direction. I surely got this part of my DNA all wrong from some strange mutation I suffered while I was in mum's tummy. And the shock was when I finally found the place (Centre for Latin American Migration Studies), I discovered that the library was closed! And what about all that info I found on web, ah? They should be working everyday, from 9.30 to 16.30 except for Wednesdays that goes to 12.30!!! I checked it last night, bummer!

And how I battled that mood? With a couple of supa-yummy alfajores de maizena with thick layer of dulce de leche (photos will come soon) and a nice cup of mate cocido. I am very easy to please:-). Now, whilst my flat feet were (they still are) killing me as you wouldn't believe, I switched to Telefe (Argentinean TV station) that was broadcasting Brazilian soap called "Bellisima". I have to say, I still love Brazilian dramas:-). When I thought that I was in a qualitatively improved mood, what happens? Suddenly Telefe is all in talking about this huge blond Brazilian beauty who came to Gran Hermano (Big Brother) as "cultural exchange" from Brazilian Big Brother... (visualise me shaking the head and heaving sigh after sigh) ... I discovered the fact that I am actually from the good ol' school and I am not interested watching a bloke soaping his armpits, thank you very much. And then I thought... what about my tired feet, ah? They could be news too...

Regards from Baires.
