a quick update...

A lot has happened recently. We took a ferry to Colonia in Uruguay this weekend which was a nice change of pace. Colonia is a very small relaxed town and we had a a 75-80 degree beach visit the second day we were there. Last night I went with Tomas and some of his friends to a concert with a big percussion group called La Bomba. It was a very Folklife/Seattle kinda thing - lots of hippieish dancing and fitting substance and was a pretty good time. Also met Simon, a friend of a friend or something of Tomas' from England - a nice guy. He just got here and doesn't speak much Spanish so he was glad to meet me. About to go out tonight to Palermo to celebrate Mark's birthday/Nate's birthday/Nuevo de Julio (independence day).
