So, the book club was a success! The French cafe we went to was excellent. The medialunas (Argentina’s croissants) are pretty good, but there is nothing like French croissants filled with chocolate. Yum. Now we’re trying to think of a story to read for the next meeting, something short (like 50 pages) and preferably available online since, since we are all going on summer vacations. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Today, I’ve locked myself in my office and I’m working on own story, a novel, about a young man from the US who comes to Argentina to find out about his roots after his Argentine mother dies. I’ve written for about an hour today and I will try to write for at least half an hour more.
Yay! L just came home and announced that he bought bread so I think I may go take a break and have some lunch. I love the fresh bread here! You can buy a half kilo of delicious fresh bread from any bakery for about 6 pesos (that’s like $1.25). And there are bakeries literally every five blocks. Why don’t we have this in the US? Bread is always so shitty. Decent fresh bread is so expensive. Bad, bad, US.
I’ve quit smoking again- this is day 4. I feel so much better, not that I was smoking much, just a few cigarettes a day. Bu
t my appetite has returned fiercely. So I will try to keep my fresh bread habit to a minimum.
Okay, sandwich time. One roll of bread only, but with some prosciutto and olive oil- yum.
besos
