Updates

Sorry we haven't written in a while. Here's what we've been up to:

>We went to the opera- It was "The Marriage of Figaro". Very good. We dressed up and had really good seats for only about $30 ($100 pesos). It had 3 intermissions! Sarah and Andrea drank champagne.
>We had Aissa and Ben over for dinner (friends of Joslyn)
>We had Thanksgiving at a friend of some friends of a friend's house. No one could find turkey or pumpkin pie. We had some quail eggs and candy teeth as appetizers. We brought deviled eggs and twice baked potatoes and met some cool people.
>Andrea and Gabby joined a gym! Their favorite things to do are yoga, swimming, spinning and toni-flex. Sarah joined a really nice yoga studio and she's really happy with it. Her favorite teacher is Roberto.
>Sarah has found a new talent as an empanada maker. We have been eating them a lot. She puts things in them like cheese, broccoli, spinach, onions, chocolate, bananas, apples, dulce de leche and beans. Not all at once of course.
>We finally moved into our permanent apartment. We love it so much! It has three bedrooms, it's decorated really nicely, and it has a rooftop terrace that we are free to use, and our landlord Ezekiel is great!
>Andrea started volunteering at "Club Acorn", an after-school program for kids, and she really likes it. It's in "La Boca", the shady part of town about an hour away from our apartment by bus. She is also volunteering at a hospital with Aissa.
>Sarah put an ad up on craigslist for a dog walker and she has her first prospective client! His name is, no joke, Michael Jordan and he wants her to take care of his dog while he is gone for a while.
>Gabby went job hunting for the first time. It was really scary but good for her. Nothing has come of that so far but Ezekiel got her a job interview at the restaurant of the hotel he works at so hopefully that will work out.
>Gabby turned 20 in Buenos Aires on December 12th! Andrea and Sarah made it really special for her. Among other things, we went ice skating!

That's all we can think of right now! We promise to put pictures up soon!

Love, Andrea, Gabby and Sarah
