So when you tell someone you are moving to Buenos Aires for a year, they ask the inevitable questions. Questions like, "Why Buenos Aires?" (my sister picked it), "What are you going to do there?" (um...), and "Do you speak Spanish?" (no). Then they laugh, or look worried. "I have a plane ticket!" I'll say defensively. Plans are overrated.
But not today! Today we earned ourselves another answer. With just one week to go, we have finally found a real live apartment! Its a little place in the Recoleta barrio of Buenos Aires. Its a chic part of town within walking distance of amazing sites like the famous Recoleta Cemetery (where Evita is immortalized), the Museo de Bellas Artes, and the Biblioteca Nacional. This will be our place for the next month as we search for more permanent dwellings.
So there you have it. Maybe in a few weeks we will have found jobs. The Spanish might take longer.
