recuperated

Finally recuperated from the nasty cold. The weather also got better. Here in Collegiales, it's much more 'barrio'. You don't find hairdressers and pedicures on every block, nor 'tarjetas larga distancia' (cheap telephone cards, to call home). It's so nice here that I hardly went out, for example to Palermo to buy the phone cards and finally get a haircut (which I really need).
Except of course at night- now that I'm better, have more energy, I really enjoy dancing tango and this weekend I got home in the early morning each day.
Wednesday my residency starts. In April there will be 5 days of 'Open studio' for me, meaning I will be working with the masterprinter, also to get more used to, and experiment with, new techniques. And then in May it's fulltime. I'm looking forward, also a bit nervous. It will change my rhythm of painting in the afternoon and dancing at night.
I am now in contact, with thanks to the Dutch Embassy here, with some NGO's doing good work helping street children. Exchanging information. Wiill be deciding which one I will support through my project, soon.
I love being here!
