I heard this story on the radio in a taxi the other day and had to share it. A woman in Buenos Aires was dating a man here for a few weeks, and on Monday she "disappeared". (Side note: people "disappear" here a lot. It's a pretty common euphemism). Well, on Friday her body was finally found. It wasn't much of a surprise that she had been killed. Apparently the man was wanted for other crimes as well. The twisted part of the story is
where she was found: in a public water source. So, several people had been drinking, washing with, and bathing in water infested with microbiotics from her decaying body. A lovely thought, right?
Also, I was being silly the other day and didn't even mention that July 9 was Argentina's Independence Day. The celebration pretty much consisted of people going out and partying on the 8 because NOBODY worked on the holiday. It was like a ghost town. Only the Chinese-run markets were open!
It's been getting colder, but it's still really sunny and the skies are just as blue as in the summer, which explains the flag:
Well, I have to go write my last paper for history...If it's good enough I don't have to take that final! Pictures of my
barrio will be coming up in the next blog! Chau!
