beware the telo


Some spanish programs teach you about the "room" and the "bed" and go through descriptions to be able to speak about the boring room. Not Bueno, entonces...in class 21 David describes the "Telo" he went to with the girl he likes. Now this is pretty hilarious because a telo is basically a sex hotel where you pay by the hour. Now, honest - I haven't been so lucky to see one of these establishments yet, and I hear in BsAs they are quite the trip. Super sketchy, dirty, benches with belts and straps, bad lighting, pornographic pictures on the wall. I love that they go through room descriptions in spanish so David is able to describe the awful experience he had in this place and now feels that he has a dirty soul. 
Ya never know when you might end up in one of these spots, so pay close attention to lesson 21 
: )
I have been painting like a possessed person, making art and playing guitar all the time. The newest piece I am working on is inspired by the incredible architecture in the barrio of La Boca. The old architecture and wrought iron work supply a never ending flood of ideas. I sit out in the streets and on my balcony to sketch and take ideas back to the art space. My mind feels like an open conduit and the ideas rush in faster than I can create them. I kind of just want to sit up and drink mate and paint to my hearts content!
