Movin´On Up

This morning, haven gotten some good sleep, I woke up to find I was once again a human being. After two cups of very strong coffee, I dressed and we headed out apartment hunting. among the other things we passed while walking around yesterday, we saw quite a few bakeries. They are beautiful displays of more types of sweets than I´ve ever seen in one place.

We saw another such bakery a few doors down from our hostel, as we were going out to look at apartments. I stopped to drool, when Bri remembered one more thing she wanted to grab. I waited at the bakery, walking around, wondering which of these lucky treats would meet me stomach first. Being early, I didn´t want anything too sweet. The empanadas (little filled pies that are an Argentine specialty) looked delicious. I didn´t want the one with jamon (ham), nor the pollo (chicken) this time of day. I settled on the choclo, since I thought choclo must be chocolate.

I carried that little pie around with me until I found a place to sit and eat it. I was so hungry, and so excited about it. As my teeth bit into the soft, flaky crust, and sunk into the filing....

...I learned that choclo isn´t chocolate at all. It was filled with cold corn and something white. Not cheese, not cream, but something starchy. It wasn´t bad, just... not breakfast.

Then, we went apartment hunting. We found a cute little place, and are moving in after lunch. We even have a telephone! If anyone wants to call us, remember the time difference (4 hours from AZ), then call away. Our number is: 4805 9418, and the country code is 54. Incoming calls are free for us.

All this typing has made me hungry. Off to the parilla!
