We have had a lot going on since last I blogged! We have a new apartment, I went riding at a new barn and met an interesting person, we experienced Chinese New Year in Barrio Chino, had a house guest, and are expecting friends from the States this weekend!
Our new apartment is located about 4 blocks from the old one so we were able to stay in Las Canitas. The new building is huge and very new. The complex has a nice pool, a workout room, laundry, and a bbq area. The only drawback is that the apartment is a bit smaller and desperately needs some balcony furniture. The pool area is pretty busy and I hope I will be able to meet people in the building.
Last Sunday our friend Deidra, Brent , and I went down to Chinatown for Chinese New Year. We got to see lots of dragon dancing, fireworks, crazy street venders selling all the crap like ceramic golden cat statues, chopsticks, fans, and anything else that you might expect to have Made In China stamped on the bottom. The food was amazing. I tried everything they were selling. My favorite was a deep fried glob of dough with some kind of vegetable. Seriously good. While we were there we ran into Dedra's spanish teacher. He seemed really nice and we will probably get some lessons from him while our teacher is on vacation.
Our friend and roomate from Bariloche came into town this week and is staying with us before her return to England. We have really enjoyed hearing about what she has been up to since we last saw each other. She has been spending time traveling the country and stayed in Mendoza, Cordoba, and visited the falls. And an added bonus- she's cooking dinner for us tonight!
Finally, Our friends Chad and Nicci are arriving on Sunday to spend a week or so with us. I am really looking forward to showing them around this city that I have grown to love!
