Sept. 24...Ladies Night

Went to class - have lots of homework which is good!  Afterwards, the language studio went out for lunch again - and we went to Sean's favourite place - El Federal.  I was being repetitive and had pastel de papas again - the homemade shepherd's pie in a bowl with black olives and tons of veggies.  So good...I think next time I'm going to get that homemade tomato soup.  They make focaccia bread from scratch but I probably said that before.  We met (Sean and I) this new couple from Norway who had been living in England the past few years.  They just got here and are pretty much doing the same thing we are all doig.  At night, Aida and I went to a "Ladies Night" held by a girl from BA expats.  It was funny because when we were walking there, we had no idea who we were meeting of what they looked like!  We were thinking "okay, we have to find a group ofgirls who are speaking English".  Sure enough, 4 girls were sitting there and of course they all had to introduce themselves again...oops.  They are all pretty much from the States, but a good group.  One is married and knows like zero Spanish, another lived in China for awhile, another moved here with ther bf from the States an the other volunteers at the same organization as Aida.  We had a couple of bottles of wine and great conversation.  After that, I met up with a local porteno and his friend and we went to another local parrilla and had more wine and good conversatio.  They seem like very nice people and their English was pretty good - even though I need to practic my Castellano (Spanish).  I was a little bit intoxicated...but a great night...
