Finding Inspiration in Argentina

I closed my eyes and heard the bouncing, screeching sound of rubber against asphalt as the wheels of the plane made contact with the runway. I closed my eyes and thought - am I really back? It was a bittersweet arrival. I was completely exhausted and in desperate need of clean clothes but I had just spent ten inspirational, friendship renewing days in a country I never thought I would ever step foot in. The people we met in Argentina were kind, helpful and accomodating and I was sad to leave the experience and people 10,000 miles behind me. But experience enables perspective and my ceaseless canon powershot gave me 872 pictures I will always have to replenish my memories. And to top it all off, I came back full of ideas for new jewelry. Over the next several weeks, I hope to have some beautiful Argentinian-inspired pieces. Stay tuned...

Heyo,
I'm going to Buenos Aires for a 6 month medical internship starting in July. Is this where you were? What did you love the most? Where/what can I absolutely not afford to miss? Fill me in! Oh yeah, I'm playing rugby there as well, meet any players? And you know Spanish? So many things I never knew ... Anyways, talk to you soonly.
Always
Tom
