coca-lite and wine
Something I´ve noticed here in S.A. is that people (Argentinians, Uruguayans, Brazilians) often drink mineral water, coke, and-or coca-lite with their meals, rather than wine. Sometimes they have coca-lite AND wine with their meals, which was the case at the asado I attended, an odd combination if you ask me. I find this interesting and am guessing that Argentine wine is largely exported, most likely to the US, where we drink copious amounts in comparison.

Hi Anne!
Here I am again, living vicariously through your adventures...I can really relate to your comments about the older you get the more you know what you need and want to make yourself happy. I truly appreciate and understand your need to have some contact with nature in your daily life because I feel the same way!
Your willingness to take on this challenge is admirable, and I’m rooting for you to find satisfactory living arrangement because I know you have a lot of other matters you want to focus on figuring out for yourself during your stay in BA.
Jerry and I are sending our love and very best wishes. Hang in there – it will be worth it!
Love, MJ
P.S. No doubt the cola thing is very odd… wine is a much better option! :)
Hi MJ,
I´m going to start responding to people´s comments, although it seems a bit odd - but it seems rude not to! Anyway, I have moved to a better location, getting sleep, and not too far from parks that I can walk to. I can see trees out of my window, so that´s good. Anyway, my outlook is getting better each day, building myself back up, so I can start taking on more challenges besides just existing.
Thanks for your support - it means so much! Hope all is going smoothly for you and Jerry.
Love,
Anne
