Patagonia 2006

Shortly after joining BootsnAll.Com, I saw a posting in the South American Travel section of the Destination Forums entitled “Meet Friendly Locals in Buenos Aires.” This looked like an excellent opportunity in view of my upcoming visit to Argentina.

According to the text:

We are a group of people who practice English every Friday at a coffee shop in Buenos Aires. It’s an easy going and informal meeting, free, just for pleasure.
We have been meeting every Friday for over 5 years to practice our English.
All are at a level that enables us to speak English fluently, which is a requirement to participate.
We like to chat about ordinary things but traveling is our favorite subject.
Every Friday, foreign travelers who are on holidays in Buenos Aires and are interested in meeting “natives” visit us. This kind of exchange and sharing of cultures and points of view means learning and developing for all of us.
If you are interested in participating and can speak in an advanced level of English,
email us for further details.

A couple days ago, I e-mailed the above address and sent along some information about myself, together with a link to my Yahoo-360 site. This morning, I received a courteous response inviting me to the November 10 meeting and giving me directions to the coffee shop where their meetings are held. I look forward to a fun evening.
