Conference in Buenos Aires

This year's regional ETA conference was held in Buenos Aires. We had a chance to meet all our compatriots from Brazil, Peru and Argentina while exploring the beautiful capital across the Rio de la Plata.

Typically theatrical, the Ateneo bookstore is housed in an old cinema with a cafe space onstage.

We also headed out into the countryside to enjoy a taste of the gaucho lifestyle.

The week would not be complete without a tango lesson, at which we Uruguayans of course excelled.

But I blush to say that a couple of us got roped into watching the Argentina - South Korea World Cup match in partisan territory.

Uruguayan hinchas, remember--all the things we do, we do in the interest of intercultural exchange.
