And sometimes I miss the States...

Sometimes I miss the snow, bagels, good vegetarian food, ethnic food (of an variety), helmets, the ocean, christmas decorations, boys that are more subtle...

My spanish is improving, I found that after a day of climbing (and speaking only spanish) with an argentine boy, I could joke in spanish. Being able to retain even a small part of your personability is really important, and nearly impossible when you are learning a second language. I have realized my naitivity in thinking I could be highly converstant in 4 weeks of spanish classes, I have so much to learn still it´s daunting.

I will be home in 6 days. And my life here hasn´t really changed, I went paragliding. I played in a underwater hockey tournament against Chile and have been studying. But it´s been the same, study, eat, swim, climb, sleep. I´ve found the rhythm and anti-socialness relaxing. I´m going to miss it.

I´m in CT for 10 days but fly back to BsAs on the 3rd and then down to Bariloche and Chalten to climb for January and February.
