Buenos Aires madness!
Love this city - the tango-themed art on small street corners, the range of different food to choose from at restos (lots of beef), and of course, the Argentine wine that is unbelievably cheap for us chicas (as we have been referred to so far). Although I still have not received my luggage that has been in delay mode since yesterday morning, I´m learning to cope with the reality; that it really doesn´t matter what I wear on this day or next because after all we are in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Yesterday, we explored the cobbled streets in the San Telmo district, passing by the artisan shops and stands full of art and jewelry, visiting the well known Mercado de San Telmo, and eventually made our way to a restaurant for dinner after groovin´ to the beats of a crowd playing the tam tams. Montrealers, this was an experience beyond the vibe felt @ Sunday Tam Tam´s on the foothills of Mount Royal. The 10 minute prepping of the drums (tam tams being warmed up around a small street fire sparked by wooden cases), and being a part of the crowd drumming down the streets made me realize we are in a city full of people that love excitement, are constantly having fun, and love to party. The chicas are definitely adapting well so far.
