I Love the one that breathes life in me. I love the one who has connected me with my heart. Now I can truely enjoy this breath-this life. When my heart is fulfilled, it overflows with gratitude. I can't help but share it with you---------------------------------------
I am an English professor. I started teaching English in Japan during the early 70's and love having classes with my studets where ever they may be. I try to find new ways of simplifying the material so my students may enjoy and benefit from our classes-------------------------------
I am also a translator and an interpreter. Before moving to Buenos Aires I've interpreted business, medical and legal matters (from Japanese, Hebrew and Spanish into English and vise versa) in the courts of New York. Besides documents, agreements, interviews, business articles etc, I had the pleasure of translating a few poetry books from Spanish to English and an adventure book from Hebrew------------------------------------

"To understand the ultimate truth, ... you have to be utterly simple
because truth is simple," says Prem Rawat. "How simple?" asks Maharaji "With the heart of a child.
What does a child have that you don't have? Simplicity." We express ourselves openly.
Frankly, I need to spend some time by myself. A sincere person always has my approval. "Honesty is the best policy." Be real! This is an authentic Van Goch painting.
Her expression is very natural and free.
I want to understand the motive for which people think that is easier to say lies that to tell the truth.I hate to justify me when sometime I say some lie.If a person thinks and feel a thing in your heart because after his mouth another different thing goes out.If we cannot express it that we feel, our emotions and bodieswere paying the consequences. We must learn to love our life and bodies. We must not live only for the image. We must enjoy what feel in ours. This is healthier and entertaining.I love myself!!!
Nancy Fontes
Nancy's second composition in Present Habitual (simple) incorporating a reflexive pronoun.
Edited version by dahli with Nancy's approval:
Dear Dahli,
I want to know the reason why people think that it is easier to telllies than to tell the truth.I hate to justify myself when I lie.When people think and feel something in their heart, why thensomething different comes out of their mouth? If we cannot express what we feel, our body pays the consequencesphysically, emotionally and mentally. We must learn to love our life and body. We need not live only for our image. We should enjoy what we feel within. This is healthier and more enjoyable. I love myself!!!

Miriam's Presentation- edited by dahli:
Hello, my name is Miriam, and I will be your tour guide while you're in Buenos Aires.
Nice to meet you. How do you do?
How was your flight?
How many hours did it take?
I would like to brief you shortly about Buenos Aires. It is not a dangerous city, but it's a big one and all kind of people live here.
I need to caution you to watch your belongings: hand bags, cameras, etc.
We strongly urge to leave your passport at the hotel, just in case...
Please change currency only at a Money Exchange, at a Bank or preferably at your hotel. Never, ever change money in the street. It is dangerous. You might be given fake Pesos or might be robbed. The exchange rate is about $3.4 to the dollar and you'll need to show your passport. Banking hours are from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. - Monday to Friday. There's a money exchange place that is open on weekends at the corner of Florida Street and Cordoba Avenue.
Taxies are black and yellow. Please ask the hotel receptionist to call one for you; it’s safer and surer that way.
The weather in Argentina during the month of February is usually very hot, but it can change any time, especially when you travel to Mendoza. Bariloche, may be a little cool or cold.
The city bus tour is included in your package- this is your voucher, you will need to hand it to the tour guide who will pick you up from the hotel lobby tomorrow morning, between 9:00 and 9:30 am.
You have 2 free days in B.A. before leaving for Iguazu and after returning from Batiloche, so if you'd like, I can suggesta few places to visit or things to do. For instance:
One night you may choose to go to a fabulous Tango Show to watch some of our best dancers and singers.
We have 3 different options to offer:
1) EL CAFE DE LOS ANGELITOS, a traditional place near CongresoPalace.
2) LA VENTANA which is located in an old building in San Telmo, the Historic Quarter of Buenos Aires.
3) ESQUINA CARLOS GARDEL, located in the Gardel neighborhood.
I can also offer you a free shopping tour to a few leather factories that manufacture jackets, pants, skirts, bags, wallets, etc. Or, you may like to visit manufacturers producing Cashmere cloths or T shirts. They all have promotional prices. The tour takes only 2 or 3 hours and a driver will pick you up from the hotel, accompany you throughout the tour and bring you back to the hotel.
If you are interested in the traditional gaucho's life, don't miss the GAUCHO PARTY!Not only do they demonstrate the best Gaucho skills and have a typical singing and dancing show, they also cook the most delicious barbecue called Asado and offer a snack of Mate, a South American Tea, and sweet cakes. There are rides on carriages and horses too. Transfer to and from the hotel including a bilingual tour guide is provided. This is truly an excellent opportunity to enjoy a day in an Argentinean farm.
The last option is a trip to TIGRE. It begins with a scenic train ride to the DELTA, and from there, a boat journey on the river touring the islands. If you’d like, you may choose to stay for lunch, or not.
