Preparing to bid adieu to my mom and Robin after a day of last minute things... hitting up MALBA, the art museum, a few stores and of course purchasing random Argentine foodstuffs they couldn't live without.
Last night at Casa Felix we met an American "couple," or at least an American girl and boy. She is a Yale PhD student studying Comparative Literature, he is a published ex-pat, with a novel and literary magazine under his belt. Ben has spent the past 2 & 1/2 years in San Telmo; Moira has been visiting him for the past 2 weeks and heads back to New Haven tonight. Their last dinner at Casa Felix showed all the signs of a new or not-quite-established long distance relationship. It takes one to know one, eh? I hesitate to write more as I know this is a public forum and he's a somewhat public figure... well, he's been featured in NY Magazine, and has a Wikipedia entry and fan page on Facebook. That, a public figure makes.
Anyway, Ben and I exchanged emails should he venture down to wine country or I back to BA (ahem, Jeff, I eagerly await your plans). Loving the Casa Felix connection... first the guys at For91Days.com, now the writer!
