Day 2 is opening to more sunshine and cool breezes! The forecast for tomorrow is sunny and 64. If this is winter in BA then sign me up! This is a view from the balcony of our apartment. We are in a beautiful apartment building with all the furnishings we need for an extended stay. Yesterday we walked to the supermarket and bought some staples so we would be able to make breakfasts in the morning and have tea in the afternoon.
Walking around the city yesterday felt like being back in Europe. The streets and architecture
remind me of Spanish and Italian cities I visited while backpacking. It's fun finding myself trying to translate menus and signs again. My brief background studying Spanish makes certain words and phrases pop out and allows me to at least follow the direction of conversations if not their full meaning. I snapped this photo while walking around Palermo. It's very clear that this is a ritzy area of B.A. but we are finding that the exchange rate makes things quite affordable for travelers!One other great thing to note about Argentina: there are four recognized meals during the day. I'll describe them later but for now just rest assured that more eating is always a good thing.
We are off to meet Steve and Cali at Plaza Cortazar for lunch!

The weather is crazy in Washtenaw county, almost up to 90. Enjoy the cool weather of Argentina while you can. Michigan is on fire.
Justin, I heard you saw the water drain the other way. I learned about that in middle school - but to be honest, I don't even know which way (ccw or cw) it drains here.
Okay - have fun.
