El sueño cono sureño terminando pronto

In the news, it snowed in Buenos Aires. First time since July, 1918.I was on a boat returning from Uruguay when my friend told me that it was snowing. I thought she was joking, but when we approached our destination of Tigre, a suburb of Buenos Aires, sure enough, there was snow.

Yesterday was the last day in the office, although I will continue working on a few things for Amartya to be completed state-side. Today, I leave for Mendoza and Chile to see life on the other side of the Cordillera. Expecting dreams to be lived.

When people ask me for my thoughts on returning home after nearly 10 months abroad, my response is generally a mixed bag. I look forward to it with trepidation about the reverse culture shock. Sometimes there is a thin line between the dream and reality.
