First twenty days back.

I thought this could be, again, a place where to meet with our far away friends and family or everyone curious enough to peek or follow!
This could be the window for us to send out the news and stories around our return to Argentina, and for you to sneak in a piece of our lives anytime you feel like you want to know was sup!
It's been almost three weeks since we landed in Ezeiza.

It has been a big adjustment, I have to confess.

It happened slowly and unnoticeably that I became accustomed to having everything in the palm of my hand and before I needed it while living in the US. It was shocking to be back in the kingdom of inefficiency and bureaucracy. But finally my brain remembered and I started, again, practicing PATIENCE and smiles. Trying to get things done when the government or any of its agencies is involved can break your will, unless you practice patience and smiles.
Here we are, living a city -big crowded city!- life, thankful to be across the street from a big green park -Barrancas de Belgrano- instead of touching noses with the across the street neighbors window. Anyways adjusting slowly to something we both always avoided, big city life!

But, also having the joy to meet again with old lovely things. Things like flavors that marked my childhood or made Robert fall in love with a new way of barbequing, things like a big group of old friends from teenage years that always have a warm hug to welcome us, o things like laughing remembering college stories with who are today my fellow Architects of Buenos Aires!
Family is another pleasure, family is the pillar, family is the reassurance that we are doing the right thing.
Things like the promise of the future we picked as our own, although we can't design it. At least we can continue to work on the draft drawings and get close to what it will be.
And that is how I feel walking this stage.

Drafting, shaping what will be, with patience.

Getting my hands dirty, but firmly advancing against whatever seems difficult now.

It's Okay. It will get better.
