So I just finished the books I brought with me, and I haven't looked into the book exchange programs around here yet. Galapagos was the better of the two, an interesting reflection on human society and the functionality of our over-sized brains. What's fantastic about discussing this book is that it can't be ruined. There are no secrets in the plot, no one's battling a single evil force, no one is striving to save the world or anything like that. It simply explores the evolutionary irony in our having developed large and complex brains which don't seem to be conducive to the preservation of human life.
Either way, I'm mostly posting this because I haven't had a lot of time to share pictures with people and post about interesting things. We have plans to go see the parks and famous cemeteries in Recoletta soon. I'm also going to Tigre with or without my lazyish roommates. Hopefully I'll have something interesting to share about that excursion, and I'll talk about my plans to go to El Calafate when I get a 7-10 day window.
