A few years ago I had the great fortune to visit Buenos Aires on a grant to study its urban planning for a high school in New York City. My first day there was auspicious. After five hours walking around the center of town with a friend of a friend, I suggested a coffee. We entered the famous Cafe Tortoni and within two minutes of being seated another couple sat at the table next to ours. At first I thought the woman looked like somebody I used to know in my New York foundation days, and then I realized it was the woman I used to know in my NY foundation days. I got up and greeted her, to her delight and my friend's friends surprise, we chatted for a while and made plans to get together; I would be in BA for three weeks. The next day I hit the ground running to go find hitherto unknown contacts that would talk to me about the urban planning of the capital and show me around a little. At first I went to the national library and from there immediately found some foundation contacts. People greeted me with kisses (even the men as men kiss each other in Argentina). As I did not know of that costum, I found it extraordinary at first that . We chatted for a while, made plans to get together (we had been out of touch for three years and I had even forgotten that she'd moved to Argentina).
