Our sincerest apologies for slacking off with the blog. We're pretty busy over here with our volunteering, socializing with fellow expats, planning our next trip, and continuing our exploration of Buenos Aires. Our participation with the film festival is pretty time consuming. We watch at least one documentary a day and write about it. Additionally, I've been translating their documents and Byron is working on their website. I'm also volunteering with a organization that creates fundamental growth experiences for underpriveliged children through games and activities. (www.abrirlapuerta.org.ar)
Also, in an attempt to make some friends/connections we've joined a BsAs expatriates online forum. It keeps us updated on fun local activities and just basic get-togethers. Another source of some of our new friendships is a pub crawl that we did last week. A couple of guys from Georgia (go figure) put it together and do it like four times a week. By the time we made to the final destination at 3am, a gigantic night club called Araoz (pronounced arouse), Byron and I gave up and went home. I'm sure the party didn't stop until many hours later though, since the clubs are open until 7am.
Of course, in between working, touring and drinking, one must eat! We've been stuffing our faces with steaks and papas fritas, almost on a daily basis. Thanks to our friend Justin, we have a wonderful website to find restaurants with (www.guiaoleo.com.ar). Our Italian roommate recommended a Peruvian restaurant to us last night, and we feasted on various sea creatures, yuka, chicken, onion salad and cancha (a corn snack). We may try the russian place nearby to change things up a bit :)
