Back In New York.......

[Davidglen77]

.......so yesterday afternoon I arrived back in New York. I didn't want to say farewell because first of all I don't like goodbye's and secondly I feel a strong connection to Argentina and know that I will be back someday, although probably never permanently.

I've been thoroughly enjoying my first 24 hours back, smiling at everyone and everything, eating all of the foods I have missed SO much, like shrimp in cilantro dressing, egg white omlette with spinach and feta cheese, and I made myself a fruit salad out of rasberries, blueberries, blackberries, papaya, pineapple and pomegranite seeds.

I feel so fortunate to have been in Argentina's womb for the past 7 years....I feel I am a better and a more understanding human being for have lived there. I am warmer with my friends, I will never be as ostentatious and consume as much as I used to. I will never wear a piece of gold jewelry ever again, I am more compassionate towards people who are disadvantaged and not that I wasn't before Argentina but I didn't realize the extent of poverty that a large segment of the world lives with.

I know I did the right thing by coming back for myself and my friends and family. I will always be part Argentino y siento que mi corazón se tinió de celeste y blanca.

I don't think I will ever stop reading the posts on this board. I look forward to reading about everyone's adventures in my beautiful Argentina......

I've enjoyed the relatively little time I've spent in New York, but I still prefer Buenos Aires.

New York is one of the greatist cities in the world. I miss it there. Enjoy it home and keep us updated.

I read that the last stretch of the high line recently opened. Let us know how it is if you make it over that way.
Enjoy NYC!
