I am in Buenos Aires and fine, I even managed to use my extremely broken Spanish to bargain my taxi driver to a reasonable price. I also had a lot of fun getting money this afternoon but I think I've got it figured out now. The ATMs just run out of money sometimes in which case everyone just comes back later. I tried and low and behold it was true.
When I arrived there was a huge clustered mob to get out of the baggage claim to immigration in th mess the lady next to me gave me some advice saying "in Argentina you just get what you get" she then told me that since I didn't have very much stuff I could and should wiggle my way between carts as far up in the line as possible.
I trust that people are taking me for Argentinian because almost as many people asked me for help, as I asked for it today. In both cases they got a blank noncomprehending stare for their trouble.
I am ready for bed from the all night flight and a head full of Spanish phrases that I do and do not understand.

I just spoke with Sally Quinn, who was calling from . . .
GREY GARDENS !
Wow how is that? Like they needed some work done on stuff by gold leaf or something? I was telling people about Grey Gardens here and they couldn't believe it.
