This lovely video was sent to me by my friend Maria Elena, an Argentine who has lived in the United States for many years. She is a woman about my vintage (!) and had been thinking for several years about coming home to stay. She finally made up her mind and booked her flight — for June 5. Well, there goes that plan! She now has one booked for September, and I pray she will be on that one. I asked if this video made her feel homesick and she said it absolutely did.

If you understand Spanish you’ll get even more out of this beautiful video, but even if you don’t it will give you just a taste of the city I love, Buenos Aires. It’s mi lugar del mundo, my place in the world, and I feel blessed to have found it.
