Looong weekend...
Easter weekend has been a trip! As if I wasn’t having enough of a vacation, we got Thursday and Friday off to celebrate Pascuas. The best part was that everyone fled the city so it took on a tranquil and sleepy quality that I’ve never experienced in Buenos Aires. I spent time with Caitlin (my roommate), trying to keep up with Abe on Anna Karenina, and studying (I swear!)
On Saturday Gretel invited me to go to her brother-in-law’s country house for the day. We ate pizza from the parilla (grill) and I played with Gret’s nephews- ages 1, 3, and 5 and her niece- age 2. The kids were almost freakishly beautiful and full of energy.
On Sunday I went to Mass with Caitlin and then to Gretel’s for her family’s Easter dinner. This time, not only were the kids there in full-force, they were loaded with sugar and ready to tear the place down! F-U-N. We played Carioca, my favorite card game and I left just in time to make it to another dinner at my friend Amanda’s. What a crazy mix of people…including a guy from Ohio who was forced to listen to me ramble on about my Super Bowl Adventures in Dayton.
