Dias 2 y 3

Friday, I went to retiro station and took the commuter rail out to chilavert
and walked around papa's old neighborhood. they changed the numbers on the
street and i took pictures of the two that it could be but neither of
them listed the old number, so it was a little guess work. i did get
a pict6ure of his school. i can't upload pictures here but hopefully
at the next p[lace....

then i went to the museo del inmigrante - argentina's 'ellis island" and looked up pless. didn't
find an erich from germany, but i DID find a dorothy pless from USA
who arrived in buenos aires in 1930.

Met up last night with 3 guys in the hostel: Enrique from Brazil who is teaching me bits of por5tuguese, Patrick from Holland and Filip from Sweden. so far I have learned how to say hiccup in three languages: "Hic" (dutch), "hiccup" (swedish), and "soluso" (portuguese, not sure of spelling).

today we went to la boca, toured the stadium and had chorizos, walked into a free rock concert in a park on the way back, watched some tango in san telmo, and went to the antique market, where i tried again to find the book "el tragapatos". no luck, but now they know the book i'm asking for. caused a little fender bender on the walk back (i don't have the argentinian timing for crossing the street down, so the first guy stopped for us, and the guy behind him hit him. so we kept walkikng) tomorrow i will try to go to recoleta and then i take the bus overnight to tunuyan!
