Safe in Cordoba

Hola a todos,

I had a few friends ping me regarding the horrible train crash in downtown Buenos Aires today, so I wanted to let everyone know that I am safe in Cordoba. Originally, I would have been in BA or leaving BA  today, but decided to leave a few days early.  The chances of me being on the train during rush hour (8:30 a.m.) would have been slim as I stay up fairly late; but unfortunately many porteños (BA citizens) arrive at work around 9 or 10 a.m., so there were 40-50 deaths and 400-600 injuries.  The president of Argentina has cancelled many Carnival activities and declared two days of mourning in respect for the families of those who were killed.
