Rain Day

Rainy day!

Rain here means business although it cleared up by mid-afternoon. By business, I mean I thought I might drown if I stepped out (and so, in keeping with my dislike of rain, I did not). To quantify this a little further, by business, I mean 94% humidity. It´s quite cool, being about 20 celcius.

It´s tough to point out all that I´ve seen but I will say that only now am I starting to get a real appreciation for how big this city is. Lots of interesting areas to be discovered. Yesterday I was in the port area, which has some really nice restaurants and cafes along the water, with high-end newly constructed condos on top. Yachts and such on the water nearby. Also nearby, one of many kind of sketchy areas where you definitely want to keep your eyes open and your valuables close. Theft is a major issue here and of course I would like to avoid experiencing it!

The tango festival is on and I might stop in before the whole crew arrives on Sunday and we catch the last night of it. Gotta jet -- Ole!
