First day!

Vance and I arrived safely in Argentina yesterday and are settling in with our hosts Gustavo, Carina and Catalina Somoza. Catalina, a charming six year old, has agreed to teach us Spanish in her free time.

We are staying is Chascomus which is a town of about 40,000 on a large lake about 1 ½ hours south west of Buenos Aries. http://www.chascomus.gov.ar/. The weather is very spring like with the leaves just starting to bud.
