Buenos Aires, Argentina – Days 6 and 7
The hot weather has finally subsided and we´re able to enjoy the daylight hours without soaking in sweat. The last few days have been fairly uneventful for a guy vacationing with three women. Lots of walking around and looking in every shoe and clothing store in town. The Argentinians are smart, though, most nice shops have a ¨man bench¨in the front where guys can park it while the women shop. The bench is the first thing I look for when entering a new establishment.
Two nights back, we did something very non-local… ate at a vegitarian restaurant. Nikki is vegitarian and being one in Buenos Aires can make eating very difficult. Argentinians feast on a steady diet of beef, ham, and bread and sip mate´(picture a strong herbal tea) daily to help with regularity issues caused by their fiber-less diet. Anyway, we thought it would be nice to take Nikki somewhere she could be with her people. We ate salad for the first time in 2 weeks, and I have to admit, it was a nice change of pace.

The rest of our time has been spent becoming very proficient at navigating the Buenos Aires subway system, it will get you to most places in the city for $.50, and touring the Museum of Modern Art. Other than that, there´s not much new to talk about so I´ll keep this short. We´re going to eat at Las Lilas tonight and chow down on some meat. They´re known for serving the best beef in Buenos Aires so it should be a great meal. We´re also preparing to leave Buenos Aires for our next location… Paris. We hope everyone is doing well back home and thanks for all of your comments, we love reading them.

DON’T FORGET to seek out my favorite creperie in Paris….it’s called CREPERIE BEAUBOURG–near the Centre Pompideau. If you can find the centre, then just ask someone where the fountain is, and the creperie will be right there. PLEASE do this for me!! I am living (and eating) vicariously through you guys 🙂 Also, the artist’s plaza on top of Montmarte is where you’ll find plenty of options for Chuck’s artwork. Je suis tres joyeux pour votre voyage a Paris!! Toute mes felicitations et bonne chance!!! (I am so excited for your trip to Paris. All the best and good luck) Luvs BB
