Kate sadly bid us adieu a little over a week ago, but I thought it absolutely necessary to feature two absolutely incredible photos of her...the first is a head shot that makes me chuckle every time I look at it. Oh I miss that girl! The second is at the San Telmo Sunday street fair, where Kitty bonded with a colorfully clad Native Indian from Peru. He asked her out on a date for later that evening...
Post-Kate's visit we found ourselves with an unexpected guest: Mr. Georgie. We first crossed paths with George in Florianopolis, Brazil, through the family with whom we couchsurfed. He graciously played our tour guide for a day and we were instant friends. A brief low-down on Georgie: real name "Jorge", Bolivian-American, U.S. home base = Los Angeles, film producer, yogi, vegetarian, extremely clean, can't stand the cold, nomadic tendencies... Given our ridiculous "no guests for more than one night or else we'll make you pay" apartment situation (don't get me started,) we had to be super suave about sneaking Georgie in and out of the building. I am not quite sure how we managed to keep our guest a secret, but we pulled it off. We failed with both Jodie and Kate and were tagged with the $200USD fee. Frustrating. Just a few other things worth venting about: 1. Our neighbors (who we never see) complain that we shut the door too hard (what?!?) 2. Leo, the awkward doorman, his sister Roxanna not only cleans our place once a week, but she is also secretary to the owner of the apt! All eyes on us. 3. New rule imposed: $500USD fine for noise complaints after 10pm. Hard to abide by when the walls are paper thin- and although we have come close, we have yet to get our first warning. Fingers crossed. Anyway, having Georgie here was great fun- lots of cooking, good conversation, and speaking Spanish (he was a wonderful influence...kicking our desire and need to speak Spanish with one another into full throttle.) Looking forward to seeing him soon as he will be settling down in BsAs for a while after his trip to Bolivia...

Me, Col, Mauro (Georgie's friend), & G at "Bomba del Tiempo"- a Monday night percussion showdown that really gets ya movin'.
