25

I never dreamed of a December like this. It`s absolutely the opposite of the 25 previous Decembers that I`ve experienced. (with exception of the countdowns of course)
Yesterday I went out in the morning with a long sleeve shirt only to find out that our ¨cool spell¨was over. For 3 or 4 days Buenos Aires was a refrigerator and yesterday it soared up from 70 degree weather back into the 80s where it belongs. I satisfied my urge to check out the river yesterday with my chef roomate, Negro. Not only was it clear skied, sunny and hot- I got a sunburn and doubled up on vitamin C by drinking some fresh squeezed OJ while in the suns fabulous rays.
Back home in Minne, its something like 10 degrees for a high and the land is covered with snow... my lo is 50 degrees warmer than their high... and I`m still wearing a sweater. I have officially become spoiled by the South American sunshine.... and I love it! Only one question remains, will I be able to survive an entire winter with no sign of snow?
Tomorrow`s my big day :) I don`t have such a program for this one. I can count my friends here on one hand.... ok 2- I more than doubled my friends on Friday when Negro took me out with 5 of his chef friends. Negro... funny nickname huh? There´s something friendly about a place where you can call your buddies Negro, Negrito, Negrita and it just means love.
