John and I drove a couple of hours outside of town to visit San Antonio de Areco, known to be in the heart of gaucho territory and a lot of estancias. We had a fun time walking around the square and visiting two small but neat museums: Museo Gauchesco Ricardo Guidaldes and Museo Las Lilas de Areco. It was great to be out of the city with no agenda! And it let us burn off gas in my car (I accidentally filled it up, without thinking that I’d be shipping it soon and you can’t have more than 1/4 tankful of gas!).
Last Sunday I had a great catch-up chat with Nomi in Pakistan, then John and I had lunch at the cute Bodegón Tia Zelmira, a short walk from our apartment. Thursday, I went to a happy hour at Rachel’s apartment, along with Lea and Good Rachel. Otherwise, it was a regular busy week; one of my deputies is on leave.
Today was a great rainy day and John and I were happy to stay in to organize my shipment to Hot Springs, which will be coming up fast! We have a lot of work to do to get ready for our move to Guyana!
John and I thoroughly enjoyed watching “C.B. Strike” and finished season four this week. We started “Ludwig,” and are liking it, too. I’m reading “Playworld,” by Adam Ross and trying to finish it before my digital loan expires (thank goodness for my two libraries’ ebooks!).
