Greetings from Argentina, still! I have a little less than two weeks left in my five month program here in La Plata, and it’s certainly proving to be a roller-coasterish finish!

Yikes! Happy Tuesday-the-thirteenth, or Valentines Day eve, or 'bwaa I'm going to leave the country tomorrow day,' whatever you want to call it!

Anybody interested in going to a teach-in thing from Amnesty International on Sunday, downtown? They'll be talking about why torture is bad, what legislation is in place to stop it, and what you personally can do. If my brilliant summary isn't good enough for you, then the full agenda for the day is at this site here and looks pretty cool to me.
