We had another lovely lunch with Jonah and Aviva (who truly look like medical residents on lunchbreak with their long white coats). Fortunately, they are eager to stay at school with their friends (only a few kids go home or out with their parents at lunchtime) so we won't have to break them of this expensive habit.
We did, however, end the day with a walk back to the kosher restaurant, El Pasaje, which we went to on day 2 or 3. Much pleasure was experienced by the meat-eaters amongst us. The meat-filled empanadas may have been the biggest hit, with my steak a close second. The owners gave us a nice map of kosher Buenos Aires, including butchers that offer "envios a domicilio sin cargo" -- yes, free delivery. We have a grill on the balcony so we may very well end up having our own picnic from time to time.
Ms. Ruthie seemed to have a fine day, although she managed to complain about some of the inadequacies of her school -- chairs that are too low, bread that is "yucky," and a few other problems. But we also saw her head right in, under the guidance of Maestra Daniela, who could not be kinder or more enthusiastic about Ru -- that earns her high marks with me from
the start. Big kisses for us and for Ruthie every morning.
Here is a photo of Jonah and Ruthie on the first day of school -- Aviva refused to be included.
