On Wednesday I give up my lovely little apartment in Las Canitas. The plan is to head south along the coast of Argentina and towards Tierra del Fuego. I'm going to miss Buenos Aires. I am really starting to love this city.
So, in this maudlin state of mind, I'm sentimental about everything.

I had my last tennis lesson with Anna. She leaves Buenos Aires in mid March and returns to Chicago-- her hometown. The lesson was a mixed bag. I hit about 25% of my serves in... okay, maybe it was only 15%. But still, this is a miracle for me. I have asked Anna to sign a sworn statement attesting this accomplishment so that I can send it to Daniel. We played exactly two games of tennis. I think I won three points.... okay, maybe it was only 2 points. But still....

I am also, of course, savoring every last moment of living in the ice cream mecca of the southern hemisphere. I've been sampling pretty much every night. Carpe diem, man... Carpe diem.
