Yesterday was the Argentinan holiday, Primavera - i.e. the first day of Spring.  Absolutely everything was closed, which means Derick’s classes were canceled as well.  Considering that 90% of his classes are on Mondays, he definitely lucked out.  The weather cooperated and the first day of Spring was sunny and 70º (fahrenheit - still don’t have the celcius thing down), so we spent the day in the park practicing Spanish and people watching.  Unfortunately, the weather forgot about Primavera and today we woke up to 40º temperatures (again, fahrenheit), wind and rain.  So today was spent working on Spanish inside and ordering in sushi for dinner - which is what we are waiting on as I type.  I placed the order, completely in Spanish without the person on the other end of the telephone asking “como” once (which is my personal measure of my ability to speak Spanish).  We will see what is actually delivered.

Tomorrow evening we are leaving for Iguazu.  This trip will (hopefully) result in a much more interesting post!
