4 months, 6 countries and 14 plane rides later and we land in NYC in an unbelievable wave of good luck: customs line takes 2 minutes, when we get to the luggage spinner, our luggage is there. though it’s 5pm, we get home with no traffic. and not on side-streets… on the VAN WYCK.
my bed’s more comfortable than ever. huge thanks to all of my friends in argentina and brazil, especially EDUARDO RISSO who found and negotiated the rental of my apartment in argentina and kept us undefeated at the pool table on my birthday, DAVID ALABARCEZ who put us up in his home for 10 days when we were homeless and showed us the magic of the rosario bus system and MARCELO FRUSIN who kept us as busy as we could hope to be throughout the trip and on the last night waded through flood-water to get our bags into the car to the airport.
it was a hell of an experience. i’m like an idiot, grinning, invigorated.
i’m home.
