back home

There was no initial re-entry shock, but there are minor blips, like today…

I finally get to have a slice of New York pizza to go and I ask for one “to carry.” Then the pizza guy bursts out laughing and I have to explain that I forgot how to speak English like a New Yorker.  It’s not like there are all that many places to get food “to go” in Buenos Aires anyway, especially when it’s pizza we’re talking about, but when there is the phrase is “comida para llevar” literally “food in order to carry” or “food with the purpose of carrying” and my brain is still a little language-scrambled. 

I got lazy with the blogging especially near the end of my trip so I may be throwing up some post-trip posts and pictures in the next few weeks.

I like to see people reunited, I like to see people run to each other, I like the kissing and the crying, I like the impatience, the stories that the mouth can’t tell fast enough, the ears that aren’t big enough, the eyes that can’t take in all of the change, I like the hugging, the bringing together, the end of missing someone.

Hosted my first fourth of July BBQ ever supersuccessfully…in Argentina.  Now I kind of want to buy a red, white, and blue dress and maybe a bonnet for my next one.  Pictures and overdue posts coming soon.

I hear it’s already warm back where I’m from.   People are complaining about the sticky New York heat that I long to see.  They’re packing up picnic baskets and remembering that some time long ago they learned how to drive just for times like this, and if they didn’t their tanning in Central Park.  They tell me it’s getting nice back where I’m from.  They have this thing called summer back there…
