Ya pues.

Okay, okay, okay. We've been receiving a little "feedback," and it seems like people think we don't update enough, or something. A lot of the diminished frequency has to do with the fact that we're not on the move every other day like we were before, and so often we just take long walks, or go to museums, or Brian goes to Spanish class and I walk or read in the park or find a new neighborhood that we haven't seen. We've also forgotten the camera (or neglected to charge it) several times, and it's just not as fun without pictures. But still, we promise to be better!

We have gone to several not-to-be-missed sites, but have also saved a lot for when our visitors come. We took a short little stroll through La Boca, just a Sunday evening preview; we'll be back for more time soon.

Me, strolling.

We went to the MALBA (Museo de Arte Latinoamericano Buenos Aires). It's a great museum. I don't have pictures, sorry. I do have pictures of our street though:

Nuestro departamento.

Oh, and a while ago we went to the a very, very cool underground tango club. It has the highest ceilings ever, crazy stuff on the walls, and an entrance that looks like nothing! It's so cool that our pictures are all dark and mysterious and full of candlelight and red wine!

I'd tell you where this is, but then I'd have to kill you.

We also (okay we've done a lot) took a little trip to Tigre this weekend, which everyone and their madre said was "liiiiiiindo" and shouldn't be missed. And it was, indeed, muy lindo! It's only 50 minutes on the train to get there, and it's a popular weekend destination for portenos (people from Buenos Aires) and foreigners alike. The whole town is centered around the river and has lovely architecture, walkways, and a huge market called the Mercado de Frutos. It was lovely to walk around, and it was actually really nice to be among a bunch of "tourists" that were majority Argentine instead of gringo. I also met with a rowing coach and looked into rowing on the river there out of their fancy-schmancy rowing club that functions like a country club (how fun would that be?), but alas, it looks like it's not going to be possible. Que lastima. But here is a picture of a boat in Tigre that is not powered by rowing:

For like a minute we talked about how the opposite bank
might be Uruguay, but then we decided it totally wasn't.

In other news, the national elections were yesterday. We saw very little evidence of the actual voting (where are the polling places anyway? And since voting is mandatory, wouldn't we see more?) except for the fact that Brian couldn't order a beer before 9pm. Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner (aka, "The Hillary of the South"), the current president's wife, won by like a million percentage points. No surprise there. It looks like people really want stability nowadays, also not such a surprise.

This week we're off to Santiago, Chile, my home for five months five years ago (holy crap)! Can't wait to see it...
