10th March 2009 Marilyn Fogel	Mom's impression of Buenos Aires - From: Look into the eyes on the street, not into the windows of the stores. I got to meet many of the folks that Dana's been writing about for the past month or so. Buenos Aires is not as scary or unsafe as I was led to believe. Its got a very European look to it, is bit on the gritty side, but people are shopping, shopping, eating everywhere. I am not sure how the society can support so many stores, bakeries, and restaurants, but people seem to enjoy the variety. The Hostel El Sol is housed in a 1890s building with Hotel El Sol on the corner, 2nd floor. It is a building built in the grand style of old Buenos Aires with tall ceilings, lots of steps, and an inner courtyard. Paul, the owner and proprieter, keeps his cool with the endless questions of recent visitors. The place itself is the classic funkiness of hostels anywhere--but the atmosphere was very special. I met Australians and Americans there, all of who were on some personal voyage or another. Dana's apartment with Tirzah and Sebi was in the Cabacillto neighborhood, a more residential area. That building was constructed in the 1950s with wood floors and balconies. Sebi is a 25 year old native to Buenos Aires, and he was immediately liked by a Mother, who of course is looking for sensible stable men for her daughter. We made a pasta dinner, discussed space science, and popular literature before going for ice cream, a passion for all Argentinians that I met! Dana's spanish is good enough to get by with most people on the streets, and she carries out a good conversation. As a parent, it's my opinion that the class was a good one, because very quickly the night life of Buenos Aires could eat you up! The contacts made during the class were important as well, and also the knowledge of how to teach English is something that can be used anywhere. I would agree with Dana that it will be good for them to get of town. Buenos Aires is a huge city, with many trees, but give me a stretch of greenery any time! I hope they enjoy the trip.
