Primer Dia

Day One. I arrived today and the first thing I did was to watch the march
of the madres de la plaza de mayo (they are the mothers ofpeople who
disappeared in the dirty war, and they march at the plaza de mayo
every thursday), walked down calle florida (the main shopping
street),struck out 3 timeslooking for tragapatos, a children's book
fromthe 1930's, but through it i got a great talkwith an older
gentleman who runs a store just for old books, and I had coffee and an
"alfajor", a sandwich cookie with dulce de leche inthe middle and
coconut on the outside. I missed the trip to the soccer game tonight
but i'mhopeful for either sunday or when i comeback through buenos
aires on the way back.
