After we had grabbed our luggage and cleared customs (which consisted of putting our bags through a scanner that nobody was watching), we ventured out into the humidity of Buenos Aires (which translates as "Good Winds"). They are just coming out of their winter here, and were experiencing an unseasonable heat wave.
As we walked out into the transportation area, we looked for Kate (our country coordinator), whom we had met at the discernment event in April, and who would be the only familiar face in the crowd. We didn't see her immediately, however, and I found myself being approached by a bearded man who somehow knew my name. This mystery man, it turns out, was Kate's husband David, who is the other coordinator of our program here. Our flight had arrived at the 'old' terminal, and he had come to collect us as Kate hurried over from the other one.
Once we had that all sorted out, we piled our things into (and onto) a couple of cars and headed out into the labyrinth of Buenos Aires traffic.
