laid out at chris's hotel's pool for an hour yesterday and got some serious color while doing my preterite imperfect verbs homework. the pool was on the roof and a very perfect respite from the heat. chris was back from uruguay for a night before heading off to Lima this morning. Maggie and Sue came over after and we had loads of Malbec in his sweet NY-loft-style hotel room, with a balcony and great view of the city. it was Sue's last night, as well. she had just gotten back from Mendoza (hence the malbec) and is most likely already back in london by now. Then it was off to a parilla for chris' last Argentine steak and then Las Terrazas, the Wednesday night hotspot where the Argentine businessmen go after work. Another night of little to no sleep and it was off to class this morning via taxi, possibly still drunk. Wow, it has been a while since that happened. (mom, dad, sorry). Somehow managed to get through all 4 hours of class, speaking what had to be crazy incoherent Spanish, but at least I made it! Maggie did not. she spent the morning sleeping. i myself just caught up on some sleep and need to do some homework before heading out to dinner...
dinner tonight is with a NY'er named Adam who recently opened or is trying to open a restaurant down here. Introduced via friend of a friend, who I met at Jared's Chanukah party in December. The randomness continues.
tomorrow i'll have my first private Spanish class with Martha, the Argentine woman who is married to Mickey, the Bronx jazz-singer and wine aficionado that Heather introduced me to. After it's off to private yoga class at Heather's apartment, with Chris (the friend visiting from LA who happens to have a show on SiriusXM) who will be honing his newly acquired yoga teaching skills. Can't wait to get some serious down-dogs in.
Besos, kids.
sounds so fun! go get em with your bad spanish speaking self. miss ya!
