✈️ Because of my job, I traveled for 10 days. I went home, Argentina, and for the first time in my life, I crossed the Andes mountain range and went to Chile. Regarding my job issues, everything went just fine. I worked as usual and let my job speak for itself. I saw my friends on three of the six days I stayed in Buenos Aires and had a really good time.
🇦🇷 I left Argentina before the Day of Remembrance for Truth and Justice. On March 24th, 1976, the militaries seized power and started the worst dictatorship we ever had. So every March 24th, there's a march to ask for justice and to know what happened to 30,000 people who are still considered "disappeared". Until I left my country, every year I went to this march. With family and friends, always remembering that there are 30,000 people we are still searching for and for whom we need answers. We still want to know what happened to the 500 babies kidnapped in detention centers (most of them older than me now) and punishment to everyone involved in torture, murder, kidnapping, and forced disappearances across Argentina.
💪 Being away from home for so many days (the first time I’ve been apart from Pietro and Wanda for this long) gave me some time to think about how I want the rest of the year to be. Changes are coming...
🎼 Pietro, Wanda and I went to a classical music concert for children. It was very nice and I want them to have more contact with professional musicians and places where they can listen to different types of music. They liked it and I was very happy to be there with them.
Watching
📺 Mr. Nobody 2. I like these kinds of movies, where the good guys get to punch everyone and still survive. 10/10 on my scale of "movies with no real story but a lot of action".
Reading / Listening
📚 Sebastião Salgado- Da minha terra à Terra, the autobiography of photographer Sebastião Salgado. I am a huge fan of his photography, and one of the gifts I received that I appreciate the most is his book "Outras Americas", a great work showing what nobody wanted to see about our beautiful Latin America.
🎧 Oleg discovered a singer called Ruby Black; she sings in Spanish and it seems that she produces her music independently. I couldn't find much about her and she has a distinct accent that I can’t quite place in any Spanish-speaking country, so more on that in the next few weeks. But what an amazing voice!
