Gringos, p54 of Clarín

On Thursday afternoon, a photographer and reporter from Clarín visited us here at GoodAirs HQ. The reason: an article on the city's bloggers. I was a little worried about my first interview in Spanish, but it turned out ok. (Ian had been on live radio here a couple of times, so if he was sweating, it was for his WSJ deadline, just 2 hours after the interview.) I mean, I don't think I was wildly misunderstood at any point, but the reporter did print that we arrived in marzo (pronounced: MAR-sso) when I tried to tell her we arrived in mayo (pronounced: MAH-sho). I'll work on that... One other mistake: My metric calculations are always way off. I meant NYC's SoHo and Hollywood are 5,000 KM apart, not 2,000. But these are minor mishaps. Nora got that we started a Lower East Side blog back in the day, and brought our habit of blogging here with us.

When I opened the newspaper today, and flipped way back to La Ciudad section, page 54, I saw the picture was kinda huge, with the caption "Gringos." Baby Henry Emiliano is not ID'd in the photo, but his name is explained in the text. Maybe this article, too, will pop up when the boy is googled in the future.
Photo: Clarín. One final note: See the big shining gold of the apostille'd birth certificate on Ian's desk? Yes, he's still tramitando (paperworking) his DNI. The documents are now at the translator's and we're closer to being a 3 DNI family...

[To read Clarín's "La mirada de dos recién llegados," you'll scroll down the page a little and look to the right column.]

There are lots of things I should comment on - the article, the adorable family photo, the attention received for blog, et al - but it's the hair. Ian, you've got hair!
