A Different View

Last night was a special occasion--Juan Carlos and Susana (a couple we met in Portugal 4 years ago) picked us up at the B&B and drove us to the next town north of BA--San Isidro--an area near some major horse racing facilities, and we enjoyed a great steak dinner (Argentine style), good wine and great conversation. Later a short tour of the REALLY NICE part of BA.
Today, the 4th, Cathy and I again set out on foot to explore ¨Palermo¨ an excellent part of the city. Very up scale, modern, 15 lane Boulevards, acres of beautiful parks (much like Central Park in NY), and high rise condos that would rival those near Central Park. Shows you can not pass judgement by one little section of a huge city. We walked along Embassy Row today and when you get to look at the US Embassy, you are able to see how the well placed politicians of our country live --looks like a HUGE palace. Oh those tax dollars at work.
We are getting accustomed to the South American lifestyle of taking an afternoon siesta for a couple hours, then up and at them again around 8pm, for that is when the city slowly begins to awaken for long hours into the night. So far, having a real nice time.
