So as much as I love this challenge, I hate my Argentine Internet equally.
My dedication is real because I am sitting here on my phone, which is trying to code switch between Spanish and English, which is even more frustrating, trying to write a blog.
There are things I will miss about Argentina
1. Asados
2. Amazing, cheap, wine
3. A blossoming theatre scene while still maintaining a trendy vintage one simultaneously
4. Working with the Spanish language teachers, creating Units of Study from scratch, often integrated with Social Studies and layered with inquiry
5. Our wonderful nanny who loves Pablo to the moon and back and takes good care of me too
6. Our quaint, little neighbourhood, a cross between the 1950s and a hippy American town
7. The talented group of teachers I work with in general and their incredible resilience, all the while, not complaining about things nearly as much as they could
8. Friends always
9. Riding my bike to school
10. Plentiful green blended with city
11. Our beautiful backyard with pool, barbecue, greenery and patio
12. Ice cream
13. Ángela, the masseuse, Heaven
And there are things I will not:
1. The fairly bland, meat based diet
2. Shotty Internet
3. Preschool mediocrity
4. Grocery store annihilation, meaning messy, rotting food, empty shelves
5. Extremely inconsistent service
6. Cockroaches
7. The volatile currency situation
Still, the good outweighs the bad but man, if I can make it through a SOL challenge without having to blog on my phone, and am downright craving a pen and paper and other platform, I will be a happy camper.
Sleep well friends. More stories and passion from a better device with better Internet tomorrow.

Using your phone is less than ideal, I concur. However, your perseverance to post may end with a sweeter taste than if it came easily. Argentina sounds beautiful. What an experience! I'm sure not every moment is awesome sauce, but from the middle of the US, it sounds very exciting. Thanks for sharing it with us!
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me be an arm chair traveller via your post. Argentina sounds amazing!
