Apartment hunting etc...

---

Pretty much all of my time this week has been spent cruising aroung the Internet trying to find an apartment to rent for 1 or 2 months. It's not as easy as I thought it would be. I've actually gone and looked at 2 of them. I forgot to take my camera with me or I would show you the pics so you'd know what I was talking about. The first one was in a good location but it wasn't very nice and was too expensive - especially since it doesn't have A/C - which I've deemed a requirement! The second one was nice, cheaper and with A/C, but it was in a much worse location that I didn't get a good vibe from......so the search continues. I may have found a couple more to look at tomorrow - so we'll see.
As for my Spanish...I've had 2 private lessons with Senora Matilde Salgado. She is a wonderfully patient woman!!!She really is quite good and I think I may be learning a little bit. I think I may try to take some group classes as well next week, just so I can have a bit more practice. Anyway, today, after my 2nd lesson, I went to the Recoletta cemetary and saw Eva's famous tomb. The cemetary itself is quite unique and interesting...tons of cats lazing about.
Well, that's about it for now. Hopefully I'll have an apt soon so I can stop searching all day!

The elevator
This is the elevator to my profesora's apartment. I stood in the hallway looking like a moron for a good 2 minutes waiting for the door to open before I realized I actually had to manually open the doors.

Huge tree
Check out this huge tree in the Recoleta near the cemetary. I only include the picture of the cheeseball so you can get a sense of the scale...

Is ventilation really needed here????
I had to take this picture. This was the only tomb I saw that actually had a fan for ventilation on the top of the tomb. I guess you need to be comfortable while resting for eternity...
