back in the US

I'm home!
But first, I went out to a boliiiiiiche one last time, ate at a mozzarella and dulce de leche bar, wandered palermo, saw a planetarium show for kiddies who speak spanish way better than i can, and ate a GIANT choripan for $1usd.
The Buenos Aires airport was so sad; people who worked there refused to speak to me in Spanish (even though by now I can understand Argentine spanish way better than Argentine english!) and they took away my dulce de leche (liquid).
But then, I had eggs, toast, bacon, potoatoes, and fried chicken for breakfast in Houston. It. Was. Amazing.
I already miss EVERYONE. but now I'm home! to my family, summer, hiking, humidity, asian food that doesn't suck, and the beach!

tourist fail

Before I left Seattle, I made a list of addresses of all the people I love. In Buenos Aires, I bought a bunch of cool postcards (which are surprisingly kind of hard to find. At least harder than finding postcards in Hawaii.)
I have not written on a single one. I packed them to move out of my host home, but I have no idea where!
Anyway, when you get an argentinian postcard postmarked from Kailua, now you'll know why.

hostel

I moved out of my host house and was so triste to say goodbye! My host dad gave me a giant bear hug and told me I was welcome back any time about 400 different ways.
But then Willa whisked me away and now she, Kirsten, and I are sharing a hostel in palermo, which is just about the coolest ever. There's a parilla on the roof.
Yesterday we went to a delicious Indian curry place called Bangalore, which was amazing. Willa thought she didn't like Indian food, but now she wants to cook chicken korma for dinner tomorrow night; Kirsten had never had Indian food and now she's enamorada.
Today we went exploring San Telmo, which was way cool. We have had a day full of MORE AMAZING FOOD: alfajores, cafeconleche, cheap armenian shawarma, coffee butter on steaming hot bread, raviolis filled with proscuitto and others with butternut squash, pear creme brulee, and gancia. mMmMmm
Tomorrow I want to go out for lunch with my host sister and out to a boliche with chelsie's host brother, but they're not as active on facebook as I'd like them to be...

despedidas

I hate goodbyes!
Today was great. My host mom and I made pizzas together, so I could teach her how to make fluffy crust and she could teach me how to make thin crust. We used the salmon I brought from Seattle and avocados for toppings. Everyone just about died over how amazing they were. I also gave her an American pancake recipe, which we ate for dessert (with dulce de leche, of course).
I then visited the Recoleta cemetary for the anniversary of Evita's death.
Now I have to pack because I am leaving the provincias tomorrow! I can't believe it! I am dreading leaving this house and my wonderful host family and their wonderful novios and their wonderful relatives! I am going to miss it so much!
