23 degrees C is my new favorite number of degrees. It´s so perfect here I could just make cookies out of the weather and eat them all year long. I met a fellow traveler and we ventured out into the day, ending up in a bird sanctuary on the Rio de la Plata. OMG these Argentine birds sure do yellow well. Other colors, too. I sat in the shade, breathing the good airs, listening to bird songs. If I did this all day, every day, for 3 months, I would consider the trip a success. And, I think that is exactly what I`m going to do for the rest of the year.
Artentinian business folk did a bit of celebrating today, in anticipation of the new year. At the end of this last work day of 2008, in office buildings all around Buenos Aires, windows opened and the leaves of page-a-day calendars floated out onto the breeze, confetti style. Rolls of toilet paper unfurled and waved gracefully. Drivers in the streets below honked more than usual. It was festive. Also messy.
Hey Downstairs Amy~
ReplyDeleteWe are listening to your CD on my laptop while I write. Camille wants to see your picture while we listen. We need a photo here on your blog. I love it. Sounds great. Sing it sister. Sing with those birds! We miss you and Pugsly, oh my, he's beside himself crying at your door all day long. Now, if you could only find a man of the same species to pine like that for you, well, you'd be set with unyielding love!
Hugs,
Amy and Camille
