Well you just never know what’s going to happen, do you?
As part of dealing with my residency glitch, Silvina (who is handling it for me) suggested we meet to clarify what needs to be done to correct the problem with my documents. She said she was staying with a friend who lives about a ten minute walk from me, and invited me to join them for a drink as well as dealing with the documents.
It didn’t take us long to conclude the business part, and then I was introduced to Inge, Silvina’s friend. She is delightful! Over champagne and empanadas (which were delicious), we learned a bit about each other, and we are going to go to some concerts together. Argentine hospitality is lovely, and tonight was a great example. Here are photos of the four of us: Silvina, Inge, her granddaughter Carolina and me.
You fill me with envy! What a way to solve a bureaucratic nightmare!
Yes, it was a lovely side benefit.
good for you, Helen! every cloud and all that …
Yes, this was definitely a silver lining.
