Estoy cansada

I'm sitting here fighting off mosquitoes and sleep, so this is going to be quick. I'm going to say just this: the Argentinians sure know what to do on a Sunday.

Chrissie and I had a fantastic brunch at an upscale restaurant near our flat. Really wonderful gnocchi and chicken sandwich, complete with tarte tatin.


We then walked over to the Puerto Madero neighborhood, across a canal and into an old shipping district which has been "gentrified" and is now up market and reminds me of Canary Wharf--tall flashy buildings and not much soul. Not my favorite neighborhood, but it was a lovely day of walking and eating. (Isn't every day?)




Snogging Sunday

It seems that Sunday is THE DAY for kids to get out and snog. No inappropriate groping, but full on movie screen kissing that seems to have ignored the call "cut!" It's actually quite sweet. Park benches, grassy knolls, sidewalks, and just about anywhere else. Ahh, summer is in the air.

Enjoy the photos...more writing later. Buenos noches and someone please send over some woo woo mosquito repellent! :)

Tosser, no entiendo "scarper." Please explain. Also, by the way, seems we are soon headed to the land of rio otters! Yes, will send pictures when they appear!

Morfar es muy macanudo!
See what eating meat did to you?? I've had meat from Argentina before, but I've never tried the beef...
(Maybe something similar to what "La Vieja de Codo" noticed in you two when she say you on the street that day...)
;)
So, in following your journey (and doing my research), my two questions of the day:
1. What Spanish are you studying? Castellano rioplatense?
2. ¿Arriba qué está con Tango?
¡Sea bien!
