Meg! I will let you know what we take back with us. One thing I thought of was American playing cards!

will be a bit of a reentry culture shock for us as well.

What do you suppose the number would be for Buenos Aires? Less than 10%. Remove the recent Mercursor immigrant population, and I bet it is under 5%. This isn’t, of course, to say that Argentines are healthy. What with brown, leather skin by age 30, and lungs covered in tar and nicotine, cancer rates have to be sky-high. But they aren’t overweight.
