Life in Argentina

Janie spent a few days with us recently and it was awesome!  She helped us remember some of the things that we have grown accustomed to that are not part of our life back in Idaho.  Here are some of them--
The huge Ombu tree (yes, it is all one tree), Pope Francis (who has pictures everywhere), the hallway in our apartment building, beautiful trees always in bloom, skyscraper neighbors

Janie drinking mate' (they all do), us at the Temple, sidewalk graffiti (the Beatles), yellow bikes (free transportation anywhere in the city), the green bridge (landmark on our way to the office where trains pass overhead and the homeless sleep underneath)

Cement chairs on the corner by Jumbo Department Store, steak,(no need to ask "Where's the beef?" in Argentina), the South America South Area Office entrance (home away from home), riding on the train--butt seats

There you have a few of the things that are part of our everyday experience that you might find different from what you are used to.  We are anxious for Spring which started today and hope you are all easing into Autumn.
