So today was my last day in Buenos Aires (well technically Sunday is but I have to head to the airport at noon). I spent today doing the last couple of things I wanted to do. First I went to MALBA. I loved it. Basically it's the MoMA of Latin American art. There was a special exhibition that dealt with Mexican art from 1968 until 1997 - I'm pretty sure it's my favorite exhibition of all time. I wanted to buy the catalog for the exhibition but it was aroun $120 - outrageously expensive - so I didn't buy it. The rest of the day consisted of walking around Palermo, which is full of parks and cafes, and buying a few things last minute. I'm sitting here packing now then I will have dinner with my Argentine family for the last time and head out with my friends here for the last time. The next time I post, I'll be in Chile!
Oh! And I also had my first Alfajor today....if you ever come to Argentina you have to try one. Be sure to try the Dulce de Leche one though, it's by far the best. Havanna's, there's one on every other corner it seems like, has really good, and cheap, ones.

Hello Jason! I am intrigued by this special exhibition of Mexican art -- the one that was your favorite exhibition of all time. Let's use as a frame of reference what our friend, Alfred H. Barr, would think of it. Would there be crazy-insane-intersections on his flowchart? Would the Mexican modernism even make it on his chart? What made it so great? Formal qualities or context?
Yes, I am bugging you...Shoot me the names of some of the artists and we can discuss when you return:)
I am very happy that things are going well for you. All is good at GC. Safe travels! Dr D (or, as Hannah has dubbed me "Dr. Sunshine")
