We're now south

This is our official first post! After nearly 24 hours of travel time, we arrived at our lovely little apartment in a neighborhood called Recoleta. It's close to a park, which is always nice.

Things we have learned in our short time here:
1) it's easy to unpack when you're living as a minimalist
2) contrary to what the agent says, you do not need to collect your enormous bags in Mexico City
3) you do, however, have to wait your turn in the customs line
4) when it's your turn in the Argentine customs line, it does not matter why you are here or how long you are staying
5) pizza is MUCH better in NY
6) empanadas are MUCH better in BA
7) it's nice to live in an elevator building, even if you are on the 2nd floor!

  8. Un ascensor en el segundo piso...no me digas! No lo uses mucho. Te vas a ponerte gordita sin ejercicios y comiendo tantas empanadas deliciosas.
