Argentina - Buenos Aires 09/28/2006

The search for an apartment is really getting a little tiring and consumes way too much time. Today I visited a family for a potential home stay. I had this idea that I would really learn Spanish much faster if I would stay with Spanish speakers. .... somehow they had forgotten to mention three crazy little dogs .... nope that you.

After class I went to the Turkish bath at the Hotel Castellar again. No I have to disappoint you guys, not another massage, no playing the pan flute .... I guess I must have expected such overwhelming feedback and decided not to do it again. In the sauna I had a conversation with an Argentinian of French descent with the name "Wilhelm" .... I thought that was really funny .... surprisingly my French was not that bad and we could actually have a meaningful conversation .... at least I thought so.

Now I am all confused with English, German, French and Spanish .... dios mios. For dinner I went to the "Club Espagnol" on Avenida de 9 Julio. The food was very good, the place itself very nice, in an old building with very high ceilings, big crystal lights ...if they would only dim the light a little the atmosphere would be much warmer and a really good place for dinner.
