luchadores de amor

dear friends,
i find it amusing that upon leaving new york and the states, many of you said, oh, joe, you wont ever come back, youre going to fall in love with argentina and stay there for good. well, who knows what will happen but i certainly am falling in love once more with my travels. argentina is wonderful, the people warm and open, and ive found myself indeed using this as a job hunt.

on friday i met with the assistant director for the Association of Feldenkrais Argentina, and had an FI, for those of you unawares its Functional Integration, body awareness movement goodness .... anyhoo, was a wonderful two hours, well meet again for an interview and cafe next week. hes also an artist, singer, and dancer and happens to be old friends with my feldenkrais trainer in new york. what a small world! anyway, last night was a night on the town for beers, missed out on a local milonga, tango class-performance- with the couple who run the dance-tango studio ive been using, but there will be another im sure.

this morning an interview with one of the guys in my hostel who does social activism work with youth over in Chile. asked him what sustainability meant, for anyone back in new york that knows my trials and tribulations with this term, it was a great moment. a lot of huh? what? clearly, nobody has any clue about anything whenever this word is uttered. lol.

anyway, sitting here making a hat for myself because its too cold, colder than i thought, and yarn here is soooo cheap! about 5 bucks for yarn and needles, so i have a hat in a day. sweet.

yesterday i took the train up to san isidro, a province to the north of central b.a., more tranquil, ill be up there next week to work with another group. a nice day to get out of the city. deciding now whether to stay here and take some small trips to uraguy, i think i said this before, or to move on to chile or mendoza. thoughts? i am being way to indecisive for my own good. haha.

ohhhh. hahah. everyone cooks for everyone else here in the house, so i havnt been spending much money, which is awesome, but everyoen says ohhh, cook some good american food, so i think, well, mostely i just go out and eat tostadas at the local bodega but i always love deep down south beans, kale, and sweet potatoes ... but really, what everyone is asking for is a hamburger. hamburger, hamburger, hamburger. right. so im determined to make the best hamburger EVER next week, which, honestly, i do quite well. hahah. ill give a report of the overall feedback.

ok. well, thats it fo rnow. friend is bugging me to hit up the park. its a beautiful day and i slept in a bit too long ....

ciao! besos!!
