My friend JO's sister set me up with some friends of hers who live here in Córdoba, and Wednesday night they invited me to their house for supper.
Simon's Québécois and Jimena's Argentinian and they met through the myriad of travels and student exchanges they've both done in South America and in Quebec. They had been living in Quebec, but came back to live here in Córdoba, Jimena's hometown, for a couple of years. They have an adorably cute one year old named Manuel.
We had a nice veggie dinner, a change from the constant intake of steak one gets used to in Argentina. Jimena's finishing a doctorate in Linguistics and Simon studied ESL education, so we had lots of interests in common. They also gave me a crash course in the last three decades of Rock Nacional, or Argentinian rock music. So now I know that though it's pronounced, "Espinetta", the classic singer's name is really spelled Spinetta. Good to know.
