sketches from Buenos Aires!

I just spent a week in Argentina! Buenos Aires is gorgeous city - I'll have to post photos later. But in the meantime, some sketches:



































This is how I taught myself to read a Spanish menu =) Mmm, Bife... mmmm, empanadas de choclo y calabazas, mmm helados...




















People watching at Iguazu Falls. Iguazu Falls = Perfection!




















I was drawing animals at the Jardin Zoological when I found myself surrounded by an entire field trip of little Argentinian kids.. so I started pointing to each drawn animal and asking "¿QuĂ© es esto? " (What is that?) Soon I had the entire group spelling out animal names in Spanish for me. So cute!
























Portrait of me by Josh Park. Enough said.

Bwahahah! What a good picture Josh drew of you. Well, to be fair, you did draw him as a girl in a striped swimsuit.

Anyways, I was in Petco the other day and I was wondering if you have a regular chinchilla or a fancy chinchilla? The fancy one was $60 more, but I don't know what the difference is.

Yeah that's my favorite portrait ever =D I did try drawing Josh for real (do you see it?) but that didn't turn out so well.
Hey, what's a fancy chinchilla!? Mine is little and black, but I don't know if he's fancy...can you find out more?
