Ulala and i did next to nothing today of any interest. we woke up late and i made a nice brunch (awesome fiance that i am) and then we hung out around the house reading and studying until boredom drove us out into the streets for a walk around Palermo Soho, where we had not ventured as of yet. There were lots of nice houses and cafes and shops and all that you expect from an area that all the guides say is "trendy" and "modern". I did try a beer called "Iguana", which was mediocre as far as beers go but still worth the experience. I also love the fact that beer comes in one litre bottles (well, 930ml - close enough) and that these cost on average and 70 cents to a dollar fifty Canadian. Love It. And i stopped in at a locutorio (phone office) to call mom and wish her a happy Dia de La Madre (Mother`s Day). That`s right, Mother`s Day is in October here since it is Spring! Weird, hunh? =)
Perfect moment of today: sitting outside on the balcony in the sunshine, feeling the cool Spring breeze that is the city`s namesake, reading Dashiell Hammett, tasting strong, fresh coffee, hearing people on the street laughing and talking, and smelling a neighbour`s barbecue grilling the famous Argentine beef.
And since there are no pictures of note from today, here are those pictures i promised from yesterday.
