Back in the World

---

I'm back in soggy, rainy civilization.

Today was interesting as always. I started the morning with a mani-pedi. Here (or at least in Salta) this cost 25 pesos (a little less than $8). Yeah, don't hate, appreciate.

My flight was delightfully uneventful, and I got back to BsAs exactly the time I'd planned. I went into the town of Adrogue to meet up with my friend at a coffee shop. I was surprised by the look of this downtown community. I could have sworn I was in Central San Rafael (CA).

Anyhow, my friend Sebastian is getting his masters degree from Universidad de Adrogue. I had yet another unique opportunity today. I got to sit in on a graduate level class with him. As grad students here also have general education requirements, the subject was Art History, and the whole thing was in spanish. Not only did I understand well, but I was able to participate and give insightful answers to the professor's questions. I even noticed some things in one of the paintings that the real students missed. I'm quite proud of myself.

Well tomorrow it's off to the Rain Forest!
