The North!

Quick update of my schedule, no time to translate - but basically we are in Salta (one of the largest cities in Northern Argentina) for a few days taking classes on the geography and social makeup/history of the area. Soon we will travel to the more rural areas. I am staying with a friendly yet uncomfortably sort of racist family (more on that eventually, mostly toward Bolivians). Family composed of Mom Silvia (accompanying her to aerobics class tonight), Dad Pepe, 14 year old son Mauro and 13 year old daughter Melisa. Great introduction to the city yesterday - the Spanish colonial style of all the buildings is breathtaking.

Very basic schedule:

colleen. the poem that you included on this post made me remember that one called "El Yo". Do you have a link to that or an idea of where could find it?
