Argentina, Here I Come

I leave this evening for Houston, from where I will depart for Buenos Aires tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to the trip, though I'm not entirely sure what we'll be doing there.
A scene from a tango show
As far as I know, the purpose of this trip is still to go house hunting (or, rather, penthouse hunting), so I imagine Taylor and I will be off doing our own things much of the time. The only performance I'm certain we'll see is a tango show, which promises to be amazing. Fun fun fun! I'm making every effort to remember my camera on this trip.

I'm debating whether I should pick up one of those reference books on conversational Spanish to review on my flight. I think I can probably "wing it" with most of the Spanish I'll need, but it would be nice to have the book to ensure I don't make a fool of myself. Additionally, the dialect of Spanish spoken in Argentina, castellano rioplatense, is different in certain important ways from the Mexican I learned when I was younger. That reference book is sounding better and better...

When I get back from Argentina, I'll likely get back into nanotech mode, possibly get some new Ph.D. research, and maybe co-author a paper or two. In my free time, I suppose I'll play lots of video games. Summer just isn't what it used to be.

Adios!
