Merry Christmas from Buenos Aires

We're excited to be in Buenos Aires with our own apartment for the holidays. However, this time of year especially makes us homesick for our friends and family. We have a nice Christmas dinner planned of Argentinian steaks with a malbec/shallot glaze, creamed spinach, mashed sweet potatoes, and roasted peaches and ice cream for dessert.


Here is our best attempt at a Christmas card (the best we can do for a tree is the tree on the card Jim's parents sent us):

Christmas so far has been interesting. It began at midnight with several hours of fireworks going off in the streets of our neighborhood. Then at 5:00 AM a drum circle formed right outside our balcony complete with dozens of dancers. It is quiet now, though, and it seems like everything is shut down so we'll be in for most of the day and hope to have a chance to Skype with our families!
