We are in Buenos Aires
The plane touched down right on time at 8:05 this morning. It felt good to be on Argentine soil again after almost nine months in Kentucky. I had already been trying to talk to people in Spanish so I am right at home now! After we boarded the plane in Dallas last night, the man who sat beside me had to have been an Argentine because he asked to borrow my glasses and pen so he could fill out the customs forms. The tenn-long flight was quite tedious but it was worth it when we saw our grandson. He has grown so much and was shy but responsive to us. Soon he was sitting on our laps and talking. I can hardly believe that he will be three years old in two months. Laura and Javier are doing well and enjoy the townhouse where they live. We are so happy for them. Laura is in talks with a school about a change in jobs. We are all praying that it all works out for her.
We got to the Louisville airport in plenty of time yesterday. However, getting through security was a long process! We had separated out the “liquids” as we had read on the internet but evidently we didn’t quite get the process exactly right. It was the first time we had flown since all the new regulations had gone into effect. I must have been in a “dumb blonde” mode when I packed the two music box globes in my carry-on so they would get broken in the suitcases. The woman at the check-point told me that I couldn’t take them on the plane because they had “water” in them! Since no one was with us, I had to relinquish the two items (for the homeless, she said). I was so disappointed because they were for Marcos and Laura and Javier. I suppose I should have transferred the no water bottles to the fact that the globes had water in them. I suppose all of this is to make us feel safer when we board an airplane.
We have already talked to several friends. Younghe picked us up at the airport this morning and brought us out to the house.
We look forward to the next days as we enjoy the time with our family and friends here. I know the time will pass quickly.
