Yesterday I stopped by the art show at the expo center next to the embassy – there were a couple of hundred artists there with booths and I saw some fun stuff. Lots of people were there – Argentines seem to come out in force for events! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday night, John and I met some work colleagues for happy hour – it was fun to see Kat back from leave, as I hadn\u2019t seen her for several years; her husband Jamie is our A-100 friend. Lea was there, plus I met new people. It\u2019s truly a small world \u2014 I learned that the great uncle of Ben (who works in the Ag section) was the president of Hendrix College during my first couple of years on campus, Roy B. Shilling. He had asked where John and I were from, and when I said \u201cArkansas,\u201d he said his great-uncle had been president of \u201ca small liberal arts college called Hendrix\u201c a long time ago. I guessed, \u201cRoy B???\u201d Yep! We both had a good laugh!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work continues to be busy. We had a \u201cSuper Saturday\u201d yesterday, so I worked all day. Our wait times are long for tourist visas since Buenos Aires was shut down for so long during the pandemic – it\u2019s a bear trying to work through it all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few more photos from the art show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
