It was my birthday on Wednesday! 31 years old ... definitely the grandpa of the Spanish track. There are 3 or 4 people older than me in the Lauder group, but I'm the oldest one in the Spanish Track. The average age of the Lauder students this year is 28 (range: 24-32).

Anyway, we went to a restaurant in Puerto Madero called Asia de Cuba, which was a fun experience. Good food, fun atmosphere and great company!

I went out to a pizza parlor called El Cuartito with Greg and Jeff the other night. It was packed with people watching a soccer game and filled with soccer memorabilia. The pizza was outstanding!

Our Lauder group visited one of the oldest "plateros" in the world. This family has been doing silver work for 8 generations. Their work is incredibly elaborate and beautiful. They made the facemask that was used on Evita Peron at her funeral and made silver roses (as the one pictured below) for Princess Diana's funeral.
