Feliz dia del amigo

I woke up this morning feeling better than I have in a while. My cold is two days behind Bri's cold. That means I'll be fully myself again tomorrow.

Not only am I feeling better, but today is Friends' Day in Argentina, so everyone is a bit more celebratory. Stepping out onto the streets of Buenos Aires this morning was like walking onto the set of a musical, without the singing and dancing. I was happy, lively, and caffeinated; I was met with an "hola" and a "buenos dias" by the first person I saw outside the apartment, by the policeman on the corner, by a streetsweeper, and by the doorman in my school's building. People here are so kind and friendly, the architecture is gorgeous, everything in the bakeries is always fresh, the dogs are well-mannered, and the nightlife is supposed to be fantastic.

The only things Buenos Aires is missing are: everyone I love and good Mexican food. Happy Friends' Day todos mis amigos!

p.s. Send enchiladas.
