Mystery Solved

So I did finally ask the other girl I live with (the one from New Orleans) if she had any clue as to what it was I ate. After describing it to her she still didn't know; after our chat she casually asked the dad of our house what it was. After talking with him she discovered while it wasn't stomach it wasn't much better. It's some cut of meat from in between the ribs. Regardless it's still a think tough piece of meat in between two thin membranes - and yes you are supposed to eat the membranes.

On another note ... while I've enjoyed my time here in Buenos Aires I'm ready to move onto Santiago. One of the people I hung out with the first two weeks here is already in Santiago and from what he tells me I think I'll like Chile a bit better. I love the big city vibe here but sometimes it's too big of a city and the constant littering, pollution and protesting is starting to get to me. I can't wait for a tiny bit of piece and quiet and to be able to clean out my ears at night without having the Q-tip turn black. I'm also looking forward to living close to the school and not having to pay a minimum of 22 pesos for a taxi ride.
