The past two days of work have been very productive as we start to put together more concrete deliverables for the document management system and impact assessment methodology.  Our second weekly meeting occurred this afternoon.  Roman did a great job presenting again, referencing the slides that we had translated into Spanish for the ADEC team.  It was a bit hard to get a read on Raul and Jorge’s thoughts today, but they indicated that we are still proceeding in the right direction in terms of what they want.  They both asked for an example of the impact assessment methodology, which further confirms to me their interest in tangible and very functional deliverables from us.  Here are Daniel, Raul, Rodolfo, Veronica, Henk, and Roman in discussion during the meeting.

Last night Edwin, Gina, Roman, Tarja, and I went to La Social Milonga to tango!  The evening began with an hour or so of lessons, learning the basics, and then there was open dancing.  The event was held in a great looking old ballroom, with wooden floors and hanging chandeliers, only two blocks from the hotel.  Paula is a regular, joining us after the lessons, and was amazing to watch dance.  She also explained some of the traditions, of the man asking the woman, that a ‘dance’ is really 4 songs, with small breaks in between, and two people only dancing together for two dances during the night.  It was a little intimidating to dance during the open dancing because all the people out on the floor were so good.  Edwin and I gave it a go, mostly staying in the middle of the floor and just trying not to run into other people.  Roman also gave it a try with Paula for a short dance at the end of the night.

    

A busy weekend is in store, heading out again tonight with Paula, going to Quebrada del Condorito tomorrow for some hiking, and then a show tomorrow night, before finally collapsing in exhaustion on Sunday.
