Return of the Jedi
So I have returned to Buenos Aires and I find it just exactly as I left it: grand and teeming, dirty and beautiful. I returned from my fantastic voyage on Sunday evening and began the semester on Monday. I would like to have posted sooner, but I needed a few days to get things in order at the University and to rest my weary bones. But, like that prodigal fellow from that story in some book or another…here I am.
First off, school (that’s why I’m here right?). I was able to register in all the classes I wanted. I have two literature classes, one Latin American and one Argentinian. I also have a class in Latin American Cultural Studies. Last, but most definitely not least, I have a Tango class. This should be plenty to keep me busy in between whatever adventures are awaiting me next.
Speaking of adventures, I just returned from one that will be difficult to do justice to with my simple words. Nevertheless, I am going to try. It is going to take several posts over the next few days to give you a glimpse into the wonders that I have, for some reason or another, been blessed to behold. The posts that follow will be a chronicling of some of the most incredible things I have seen and done in my life. I hope that I can express at least a fraction of the pure, childlike joy and amazement that welled up in me time and again during my voyage.
Welcome back. Sounds like you had a good trip.

So good to hear from you again, I did sent a reply, but not this way. It’s so neat to experience different cultures and learn to appreciate the people. Love Aunt Stef

In typical Mom fashion, my first thought was . . . “yay! He’s back and safe.” Consecutive thoughts are I can’t wait to see pictures and hear all of the stories. Another thought was that I can’t believe you and one of the Dr.’s I work with were in Ushuaia at the same time. . . . makes the world seem small though it is oh so great! Keep up the good work. I expect tango lessons when you get back!

Hey D. Why am I not surprised that you’re taking a Tango class? Erin thinks that’s pretty cool. It’s you through and through! I’ll bet your Latin American Cultural studies class will be enlightening. Although, probably less so since you’re living in it every day. I keep imagining the great things you’re seeing and doing right now. Then I jump ahead and imagine the great things you’ll want to do when you return. The positive energy (The Force?) and momentum you’re gaining while there will catapult you wherever you want to go. It’s so exciting! Have fun and keep writing……
