News Updates
Good News: My toe is NOT broken! Hurrrrrrray! I have been hopping, skipping, and jumping for joy (litterally, just because I can).
Better News: The strap on my purse broke a few days ago and is being held together by some superglue and a struggling, suffering little paperclip. Now I know this may seem like bad news, but actually it means I get to buy a new purse! Whoooo hoooo! Which is extra super excellent since I have been admiring all the vibrant and bright colors floating around Cordoba. It seems like the streets are glowing with violets and marigold yellows (which im told are the favorites of the season). Im on the search for an animated violet color to tote around on my arm.
Absolutely excellent news: We found the BEST empanada joint in all of Cordoba, and it is only 4 blocks from our hostel. They have over 60 different varieties of empanadas. Its amazingly delicious! These little babies are so delectable and scrumptiously tasteful. We have been to this little hole in the wall so far everyday since we found it. Here is what our daily diet looks like:
Breakfast- Bread with heaping spoonfulls of caramel and coffee,
Lunch- empanadas,
Snack- more empanadas (because of course we got 1/2 dozen for lunch),
Dinner (usually at 6ish)- maybe some sort of vegetable something or other, but alwyas smothered in cheese,
Second dinner (because Argentinians don´t usually eat until around 10pm) MEAT!
I think we are going to turn into empanadas if we keep it up, but they are just SO. DAMN. GOOOOD!
Semi bad news: We were going to head to Oktoberfest today in the cute little town of Villa General Belgrano but it seems there is a bus strike happening today. Just today though and not tomorrow, which I dont really understand because it doesn´t seem that anything could be resolved in one day. hmmmm, oh well. So now plans have changed and we are going to Oktoberfest it up tomorrow instead. So that means we are stuck in Cordoba for another day of wandering and shopping.
Lots of love!
XOXO,
Juli

Hi Juli ~
Great news on the toe and on the empanadas -- and the purse shopping.
