mendoza, the wine-growing region in northwest argentina, specializes in malbec, which is a red wine whose grape was imported from france a long time ago. abby, caroline, alicia and i ate at la biela this afternoon, in recoleta, and had our first bottle of argentine wine--malbec, of course. it was delicious--very, very smooth and fruity. we spoke spanish with our waiter, and he asked me if i was russian or american. herm...well, i guess i need to work on that accent...
recoleta has an fair every sunday outside of the cemetary, and it was packed with people.
the people here are all very friendly and very beautiful. i succesfully navitaged el subte (the subway) back to my apartment, so i'm thinking of today as a success!
besos!

Sounds great Ellen. Take tons of pictures!!
Do you have any idea how long it took me to be mistaken for being NOT an American? like 6 weeks, and that was mostly because I had been up all night at the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona and was too tired to speak. (It's not hard to look French when you don't speak.) Already the waiter thinks you're Russian. Nice work!
awww, it all sounds so exciting already. maybe you just look a bit russian? maybe? haha.
this is danielle by the way. happy to read your blog.
ps, i don't know if you've been keeping track, but obama is 10 delegates away from grabbing the nomination over here...and people have already - more or less - called it. we did it!
I feel like you should take it as a compliment to your sexiness that he thought you were russian. also, you are fabulous. xoxo.
