- I declare Mendoza, perhaps unfairly, to be a dirty and ugly city, no matter its proximity to fertile land and fantastic bodegas. I do not love it.
- I did love Buenos Aires as a place to settle and explore and work and receive visitors. There are wonderful people, a glorious array of fine restaurants, interesting neighborhoods, parks, art, public transit... and on and on and on. Still I do not love it, not with the depth required to make Buenos Aires a home.
- I enjoyed a much-needed vegetarian lunch buffet at Azahares on Alem 46. I have to hope that avoiding enormous piles of steak will improve my health at least a little bit. Oh, and perhaps I should drink less wine.
- I will not cut my hair until I return to Seattle. There, I said it. (Eric, look for a dirty hippie in Ecuador.)
- I will return to Seattle between June 12th and 15th. I will be home in about six weeks.
- No matter this trip and its stunning vistas, no matter my uncertain future and family location, I still think about Seattle as home. A week-long visit from Dave clarified this matter entirely.
Home = Seattle
- If I had to be alone in a city in South America, I wish that city were Sucre. Mendoza does not quite cut it. I think I will leave here after a week or so and spend some time in Chile.
- I am now accepting applications for the privilege of my renting a room in your house.
In Capitol Hill.
With a puppy allowed.
- If Claire's two-week-long visit clarified any matter it is my desire to have a dog posthaste. I think I am ready to plan the remains of 2010 around an adorable puppy. See also Fuck Yeah Dogs.
- I feel like crap, and the internet here is not particularly speedy. Back to the hotel, I suppose?
