La Boca...
El boxeo...
El baile...
Jules left yesterday after a 6-day Buenos Aires intensive which included (in no particular order): a tango lesson; a "cantina klezmer" show (check out La Gypsy); lying in the grass near the river on a perfect near-spring day after a lunch of fried calamari and cold beer; dancing, dancing, dancing in "the bolich" (English for boliche...); devouring with Jake (prounounced "shake") and Nati what can only be described as a meat pile in the historic center of La Boca barrio; sampling the various and sundry alfajores on offer at Havanna; watching a puppet show, 6 years in the making, entirely in Spanish; and Jules' moment of Argentine fame, when a closeup of her face appeared on live television as she watched, from the first row, Diego "La Joya" Chaves defend his Latin American boxing title.

You, Nati, and Jules all look like hermanas in the first picture!
Picture postings are great. Fabulous. Stuptastic (stupendous/fantastic). And probably less mind-intensive as wordy posts.
I think you should look for LESS attractive pictures of me for this blog post... wait, that wouldn't be possible! But also you forgot my FAVORITE 'b' of all. LA BOMBA! UGH. My heart. I miss.
Very very exciting
Pretty girls. Astounding amounts of food. Music (I'm listening to the marvelous La Gypsy right now...) this has got to be one of the greatest blog posts ever, Julia. So excited to enjoy BA with you. Missing you much.
Happy and sending love.
