This is a sketch of the University of Buenos Aires Faculty of Engineering building. It’s a beautiful building and I’ve been wanting to sketch it for a while, but the trouble was I kept passing it when I was on the bus and I wasn’t quite sure where it was or how to get to it.

Yesterday, again on a bus, I caught a glimpse of another landmark up a side street and that positioned me. So today I walked up there — took me about half an hour — and sketched it. So this represents a small triumph in finding my way around my beautiful Buenos Aires.

Another thing happened today, a small thing but fun. I took part in a teleseminar, and you know how at the beginning they invite people to say their first name and where they are calling in from? Well I jumped in and happily said, “This is Helen in Buenos Aires” — how cool is that?!
