Moving Out and Moving On

I cannot believe that the time in our Recoleta apartment went by so fast! Both Kevin and David just decided that they need to move, that it is time for them to leave Buenos Aires. Sad. With this in mind Carly and I now have to change our apartment search from a place with space to accommodate four to one for only two. Arugh. I really love looking for apartments... Lie. Juan´s mom has been incredibly helpful in assisting us with the hunt. Day by day my Spanish is improving and I am able to hold increasingly more substantial conversations. It feels so good!

Recently, Carly and I have been going to San Telmo to play soccer (fĂștbol) with a bunch of friends and often several boys under the age of ten. As we set off for the 40 minute bus ride toward the other side of town we felt a few drops of rain but decided it wasn´t going to be enough to discourage us from playing. Fifteen minutes into the game and it was dumping! Thunder and lightning raged across the sky but the air temperature was still so nice that we couldn´t be bothered to stop. Eventually, our tiny field turned into more of a giant mud pit, which eventually evolved into a perfect location to perform whatever gymnastic ability we each possessed.

In other news, Carly missed her flight back to England. Her original idea was to stay here in BA for a few months, work then travel but as we all know, even the best laid plans often go awry. The flight she bought offered her the flexibility to change her ticket for as little as €100 if she called before the plane took off but she had the date wrong by about a month... oops.
