my bible


Today when I was riding the bus, I looked over to my left and saw a woman reading a daily prayer book. Then I realized I was holding my "guia T" (the bus guide) as protectively and preciously as this woman was holding her prayers. The guia T is my bible. Without it I would be lost in a world so radically different from my own. So I say my thanks to the bus gods and the guia T. Thank you for showing me your world.

More things about argentina
1. There are absolutely no Wal-Mart like stores. Each store only sells one thing. There is a store by my house that only sells diapers- that's it.
2. There are very affectionate couples everywhere. I sometimes wonder how many argentine babies were made in public.
3. Almost all the old men look wise.

Note: Today it was 45 degrees but felt like 36 degrees and it was raining. I could see my breath this morning.
