Back in the U.S.S.A.

I miss: the beautiful blue Argentine skies, the way the city always smelled like asado and jasmine, the subte & the buses, sitting in a cafe for hours and hours, the constant noise and energy, walking everywhere, the pretty porteño accent, getting into funny conversations with strangers all the time, getting home at sunrise, 6 peso vodka, alfajores, my students, my friends, everything...
I love about being home: drivers that aren't actively trying to kill every pedestrian they see and that stop to let you cross the street, ellipticals at the gym, mexican food, family, friends, my dog, zero humidity even on hot days, the Barack Obama sign on every house & car where I live, how cheap restaurants & grocery stores are compared to BA, soy milk, and a million other things.

Thanks to everyone for reading this whole time! I haven't decided if I'll keep writing, since it won't really be the Buenos Diaries anymore. But keep checking back. Besos to all.

Hey Sarah, found this by accident while looking why argentineans eat ñoquis on the 29th each month and really liked it.
I'm an argie living in Ireland and gotta say absolutely loved the way you wrote about the city and how those small silly things (eg: stairs vs lifts) called your attention & made you feel.
Such a pity you are abck in the US now but anyways looks like you quite enjoyed your time there,
hope you keeping well :-)
