It was lovely sleeping on Saturday morning, but, little did I know, this would cause a rucus here in the Casa de Regianni. After breakfast and a shower, Tio and I talked about going to see a movie, Monstruos versus Aliens. One of my classmates Diogo had seen it and said it was fun and especially good for someone learning Spanish. Bueno, entonces, I’ll spare you the details but because we also had to go shopping and then to a wedding yesterday, Tia was freaking out a little bit about the time. Yesterday afternoon was probably the first time that I felt really lonely. It’s an awkward place to be, causing a point of conflict but also knowing that it shouldn’t be a conflict. Tia didn’t think we had time. Tio did. I offered to go alone or on another day or whatever was easiest – though really, I wanted to go out for a bit.
In the evening, we went to the wedding of a friend’s son. It was lovely. It was very Argentina (aka: late).
Then pizza and Freddo!!! I adore Freddo’s ice cream although I was disappointed at the beginning of this week to find that they don’t have the coffee ice cream this year that I enjoyed so much on our last trip. Que lastima!
This morning, we (Tios and I) went to mass at the church just around the corner. I enjoy going to church in Castellano and it was Palm Sunday. :)
I also went on a run, FINALLY. And I feel SO good right now. I think my body has been screaming at me to be more active, but it’s been a challenge. Each morning and each afternoon last week I took a taxi to and from school although it’s a walkable distance – about 25 blocks. In retrospect, it was stupid that I didn’t just get up earlier and walk but Tia was insistent that I take a taxi.
Anyway, the weather is PERFECT today. It is sunny, about 25°C, and there’s a nice breeze. Mmmm. J
What else...?
Oh, it's got to be said. All Argentine men are really Italian at heart. The cat calls are a bit much, especially on a gorgeous day where there were hoards of people out running. Dear Machismos, over half the human population are women. Get over it.
When I get home, I’m going on a diet!!! Notice all the beef we eat:
Desayuno (breakfast) – some combination of fruit, corn flakes w/ milk, toast w/ marmalade and cheese, and coffee.
Almuerzo (lunch) – empanadas, bife, raviolis
Cena (dinner) – churrizos, bife de lomo, tomato salad, spaghetti, empanadas
Mommy gets here tomorrow!! I’m really excited to see her and spend time with her in Argentina! But, first thing, I plan on warning her about the dog poo!
