Many apologies to all our loyal blog followers. Our trip has begun with a lot of head scratching, looking helplessly at our computer screen not knowing how to connect to the internet. We are still trying to figure it out, but we are up and running on the Vivare´s family computer for now. If anyone has any great advice on how to connect a mac to a WEP wireless internet account, please post a comment below. The icon says we are connected, but we cannot access any web pages through Firefox or Safari--very strange. Without any further ado:
Our flight to Buenos Aires wasn’t until 7:40, so we had lots of time to sit and walk around. We got to Buenos Aires around 8 am. Horacio had thought we were coming the following day, so he was not there to meet us. Fortunately I had his cell number to call him. He came to pick us up about 45 minutes later—not too bad considering the fact that he could have been working. We napped until 3 and Ruth made us an egg, ham, and cheese tart with rice. It was very good. After our snack, we gave Horacio a soprano saxophone that he asked that we bring him (since shipping is much cheaper to the US than to Argentina). Then Horacio, Kristin, and I went for walk to the train station, park, athletic club, and Gerardo´s (the pastor we also know) house. We saw a few boys at the club playing soccer with a plastic water bottle. They were heading it, kicking it and using it just as if it were a soccer ball. The three of us walked back and relaxed until dinner time, which is about 9-9:30 at night. We had vegetable soup, breaded chicken called milanesa, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin. We went to bed right after dinner was done.
