Dakotah in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Hi everyone-

I have left the beaches of Rio and for the past week have been staying with some family friends in a town about 1 hr outside of Buenos Aires. You see their son, Juan, stayed with my family about 2 yars ago during some student exchange thing. Now they are being kind enough to return the favor with me. They are wonderful people! They keep feeding me lots and lots of meat. And drinking lots of beer! Also most of the family speaks english.....I feel kind of stupid because I dont neccessarily know another language, especially spanish. But you want to know something -- chichewa is useless in south america!! Like the rest of you I wish we were in a country where we actually could use the language elsewhere in the world.

Anyways, tonight I am going to take some tango lessons, a good dinner, and then watch a tango show. It should be good times! As all of you know, I like to watch any kind of dance so this will be fun.

Then tomorrow I head to Esquel, in southern Argentina for a 3 day fly fishing trip. It is in the patagonia region so it should be a beautiful area.

Then after that I head home. I beleive that from our group I will b the last one to make it home....well unless john is lost surfing or has joined the army like he said at COS conference.

I do plan on coming to San Francisco and New York in the end of Feb or early march. So for those of you in those cities plan on me coming to visit and we cant eat nsima together and call each other Iwe --- hahaha.

Alright evryone great to read all of your stories. Harlan, dont worry I am going to spend a couple days playing video games with my brothers -- you are not the only video game freak.

Keep you posted on my travels.

Later,
dakotah
