Count-down to Argentina: 24 days!

I'm almost done teaching Spanish for the year.  On June 14th I move to Buenos Aires for 75 days.  I've been in touch with and wrote something for an American author working on a book about alternative & global education, Maya Frost, who lives there.  I'll stay at her place for 2 days while I look for a room for rent.  After trying to get a place to stay over the internet, I've decided its best to go there first then find a room.  I'm hoping to experience a lot in 75 days: tango, beef, wine, spanish language study at the University, Plaza de Mayo, Borges, Evita, Che, Patagonia, Iguazu Falls, gauchos, and Argentinian ego, the Jewish community, Boca Juniors soccer game, and all those other unexpected things that travel brings.
