I don't prefer...

when people say "Turkey Day" in reference to Thanksgiving.

That is all.

Wedding on the Water

Saturday evening I was lucky enough to share in the celebration of Tommy & Estela's marriage- I met Tommy (a fellow GRINGO) while working at TXT. Their wedding was beautiful! They were married in the historic church- Basilica Nuestra Senora Del Pilar in Recoleta next to the cemetary where Eva Peron was buried.

The reception was held at the YACHT CLUB in Puerto Madero- the couple arrived via boat before making their entrance to ACDC "Shook Me All Night Long" and being mobbed by their friends and family.

We saw the sun rise over the water in true Argentine wedding fashion- my coworkers & friends in our best wedding attire pictured below:

FYI, love Dad

Big Machine

Some of my favorite people in the world witnessed this last night.

I watched it here with a few of my other favorite people and about 100 study abroad kids.

Gotta do what you gotta do.

How 'bout them dawgs!

Embarassing

I didn't want to be left out of my new blogging world and not mention Joe Wilson after last nights events. (Plus it's important for me to be a well rounded blogger. Posts on Politics: 1, Post on Sports: 1, Posts on nothing relevant whatsoever: 7)

Here in Argentina when people want to tell you no, they do this awful finger wag- and it's just the pointer finger, no wrist or hand involved, and it's a serious side to side wag. For added emphasis, they put their finger really close to your face.

So. Joe Wilson. This is me wagging my finger VEHEMENTLY very close to your face all the way from BA. Don't pull a stunt like that again. (And I support your party.) Do not support that kind of behavior.

Gameday

Two big games this weekend. Brazil/ Argentina and UGA season open vs OSU. Va-MOS.
