War diaries

I am Miguel. I live in Brescia, Lombardia, Italy. I am twenty years old and work on a farm with all my family. We used to be prosperous but now with the war thar is really close, we have sunk into poverty. We only have our own harvest and it is not enough ( we do not have almost any supplies). My father has heard that Germans are invading all the continent, therefore we have decided to migrate. I was wondering wheter going to Argentina, where my girlfriend and most of our friends have gone but my parents were considering going to the United States as another possibility.
Last month I received a letter from Francesco, my best friend, who now lives in Buenos Aires. He told me that Argentina is a beatiful and peaceful place, with lots of Italians and other European people. He said that it is said that Buenos Aires is the American Paris. I have never been to Paris but it sounds good, everybody says that it is a gorgeous city. Francesco is working at the railway company and thinks that me and my brother could work there too. We have never worked outside the farm, so we will see.
Now I`m looking forward to my parents decision but I have already decided by myself: I will go to Buenos Aires with or without my Family.
