After a pretty smooth day of travel - and of course the flight is still long - we made it to Buenos Aires. Or i think it is now renamed to Malos Aires!
I couldn't believe my ears when as we were landing it was announced that we would need to wear a mask to exit the plane and fill out a very long medical form informing where we had been the last 14 days and if we were sick - or showed any signs of coughing, headache, nausea, etc. That was a first. But what an amazing way to continue to provoke fear in people. We were told that we would need to wear the mask until we exited the terminal - well soon we found out that it was literally once we were in the terminal before immigration we could take off the mask. We were all video taped as we entered the terminal into immigration line.
Remind you I have just come off of grading 80+ students with very little sleep so my first day down here is usually a little slow paced. But somehow once we got to our new home for the next 14 days (or so) we ended up doing alot of things!! We are in San Telmo which is a fun neighborhood to walk around in. We settled in and walked to my favorite restaurant "Origen" - yeah! it's still there. (The bar on the corner of Calvo and (?) is not longer there - which is also the place where Jose Luis used to teach.) - So we went to Origen and i had a salad and Rommel had a sandwich. Then, because it is Sunday we walked in the Plaza which is filled with tourists for the fair. Very Cool!
