IN BUENOS AIRES

BUENOS AIRES:
I took courses in Spanish all week, last week. From 2PM to 6PM each day. Their approach, at the Academy of Reloceta, is totally different than the school in Barlioche. I know I must have learned something, because I can now order my crescent rolls (buttered) with jam without saying anything in English. But that seems to be about it.

It´s been quite here, and somewhat warm for the last couple of days. Yesterday, I walked from Recoleta to Galleries Pacifica on Florida Street, and made my reservations for a three day trip to The Falls. Then I walked over to San Telmo, and ate a hugh steak, done perfectly medium rare. Then I was so tired and full, I caught a cab home.

I´ll report more when I return from the Falls.

I´m looking forward to Dawn´s wedding cruise. It will be nice to be among friends and speak English, once again.

John,

Glad you're making progress with the conversational Spanish. I know what mean about looking forward to being among English speakers again. When do arrive in Miami?
