Dear Peter,
As I haven´t written for so long, I thought it was time I dropped you a line or two from Argentina. Unfortunately, the weather has been quite bad here in Buenos Aires over the last few days. I think summer is finally over!. Never mind, it will give me the chance to do all the things (like touring the city) I have been putting off while I have been trying to accommodate in this new life that I am going to live.
Life here is great- I have just found a job which is working in a friendly little cafe near the harbor. It is only a few hours each week, but the pay is good and some great people are working there. It is the only way I have found to have money.
I feel it is time to tell you one thing that changed my life. When I was travelling on the ship I met someone who was an immigrant like me, he says he was from Croatia, his name was Sam, and he decided to go to Argentina because life was very difficult in Croatia, he didn´t have a job and he had no money to live.
After a few hours of travelling, he told me about his family, he had one brother and one sister but when he was thirteen years-old his sister died of cancer. I didn´t know how to react when he told me that because it was a sad thing for him so I decided to speak about another thing, like my family and the reasons why I was going to Argentina.
When we arrived in Argentina, he said that he had some friends here and he was going to live with them until he could find a job. Since then I had never seen him again until I saw him in the café that I am working, he is an employee too.
Well, I will finish now as I have got to go and work at the café. I miss you a lot- if only you were here with me. Between us I am going to confess you something, I feel as I know Sam from a life time, we had a lot of things in common. We are good friends now, I don’t feel so lonely. Now that I have finished tidying all the things we brought in the ship up, I will write more often- I promise!
Lots of love, my friend
Julia
