After classes, I went with Alex and Tiana to eat in a small organic-friendly juice bar type place. I got a smoothie and a wrap with hummus and tofu and it was all very good. Cheap, too. Have I noted the cost of food down here? [incidentally, it's not just veggie food, either. The Argentine peso dropped in value around 2007, I think, and the dollar's doing very well by comparison. They were about 1:1 10 years ago. Alex and Tiana get meat almost every day at lunch, and it looks good. Their bills aren't much more than mine.]

We went to see Up in English, and I really liked it. Well done, Pixar.

When I got back, I went running and didn't get lost (for the first time ever).

I talked on Skype for a while with this guy Art, and we're going to go to Iguazu falls this weekend. It's up North a bit, so I had to buy a plane ticket to get there and back over the weekend, but it was $276 round trip, and how many times in my life will I have this opportunity? It's supposed to kick Niagra Falls' butt, and anyways I've never been there either.

Then I decided it was time to shave. This is how it works out: in the middle of the room, because there's no mirror or sink in the bathroom, nor is there a mirror in the washroom.

  2. I will stop reading your blog if you post nasty pictures like that.

    Also, I hate you and your cheap food. I want some too.

  3. Have fun at the falls. Niagra is pretty cool, though. It's not really a singular waterfall, but a combination of shelves off of which the water falls. I can't wait to see the photos!
