change in the weather

Yesterday as we started out for our daily exploratory walk, I was wearing jeans and t-shirt. After a fifteen minute walk away from our B&b it soon became apparent that I needed to change to walking shorts---sooo--I left Cathy to check out a botanical garden, and hot footed it back to the B&B and changed to shorts and fifteen minutes later I again joined up with Cathy.
This morning, I tried to get ahead of the game and we left here, both of us dressed for hot weather. As in Florida about now, the weather turned very cool and for the 2nd time in a month it rained for about three hours, as we complained we were not dressed properly. Go figure.
Also, on this rainy day, the subway decided not to work so the streets were very crowded.
We did a bit of window shopping today---beautiful stores--the Galleria more colorful than Palm Beach or Houston--and frequented by a equally rich crowd. Overall, we are very impressed with BA--it is not in anyway a second rate city.
Checked out their most famous cathedral and later saw a large pinkish building(palace) where Eva Peron led the way for revolt many years ago. Finished up our day back near our B&B, across from a little park, where we had a bit of local beer. Then to the Pizza rest. nearby for dinner and a glass of Argentine vino. The owners son, a young man in his early twenties served us and was such a neat, handsome young man that we wanted to take him home to the US with us. We have met several young adults (18 to 22) that are just so very courteous, and with such charming personalities that it has been a real treat to talk with them--thank goodness they speak a good amount of English. Also met a young working photographer from Milan, Italy, working his way across Argentina--he spoke English very well--in his early twenties also.
Back at the B&B now, dead tired and ready for a nap. Moving to a second B&B tomorrow for two days then to Iguasu Falls.
