Happy Birthday, Daddy! This morning was pretty much the normal routine around here for me. I went to the ISA office before class and met Tammy there. We were going to take money out for me, but we ran out of time so just went straight to class. Class was fine, nothing too exciting. Tammy, Will, Trevor, and I are going to do our presentation together over the two main fútbol teams in Buenos Aires. Tammy and I are going to work together to do Boca. After class, we took the #15 colectivo (bus) to Avenida Córdoba to look for cheaper shoes for Tammy. We browsed a bunch of stores, but didn’t find anything. It was fun to walk around with Tammy though. The bus was really crowded on the way there, but it was better on the way back. I have found another benefit of having a “legal giant” for a friend… the bars to hold on to are really high and I can barely reach unless I am directly beneath them. However, if you have a nice, tall friend like Tammy, you can hold on to her arm instead! Thanks, Tammy! As soon as we got back to the bus stop, the bus arrived. This made us very happy! We got on and rode back to our neighborhood. We got off just about a block out of our way and walked to… Freddo! Yep, Thursdays are 50% off all baked goods! Tammy had a huge piece of cheesecake for about $1 (US) and I had a chocolate fudge/brownie sandwich with dulce de leche in the middle! Indeed, it was very delicious! It was time for us to go home (for dinner!) after that, so we parted and went home without doing our homework. I talked to Fani for a little bit and she fed me dinner… soup, shredded carrots and more big cucumber, leftover tarta de verdures, and dulce de leche-flavored mousse something. After dinner, she went to bed and I read, checked my email, journaled, and read for a while before going to bed.

Oh, I forgot to say that it was funny yesterday because when I came into the apartment with Tammy, Fani told me that I had a “tarjetita” (little card) on my bed. I had no idea what she meant, but thanked her and when we went in my bedroom, I had a postcard from Tammy from Chile and Tammy was with me! Don’t worry, I didn’t read it until after she left!
