July 11th in Buenos Aires

It's Saturday, July 11^th, and we're in BA. The sun is shining but it's in the 40's, maybe low 50's by afternoon. We headed out about 11am to do some exploring. First coffee and to decide where we want to go. We walk along the Av. Del Libertador Ave, it's 9 lanes of traffic going each way and it's our favorite place to walk because the highway of traffic is so wide you can get sun on the sidewalk. There is also a huge park that runs most of the length of this highway between the two directions of traffic. It is so wide in many cases , and sometimes with buildings in between, that at times you can't see the traffic going in the opposite direction. So we wound up in the Recoleta neighborhood and did some shopping at our favorite mall (didn't buy anything). We had lunch at a the restaurant San Juanito. The servers are a lot of fun here and the food is excellent. We walked from 11am until about 4pm today, with a break for coffee and lunch. Took a nap this afternoon in anticipation of going out for jazz this evening. The event starts at 10pm.

We decide to go out on another night due to how we're feeling ( not so good). We made chili yesterday and it's really ready to eat today, so we had a delicious dinner. Last night we talked with Jan, Jeff, and Michael on Skype, we feel so lucky that we can be so in touch with our family while we are here. Today I sent Chuck, Becky and family an email in hopes that they can get on skype and we will also talk while we are visiting in BA. Our internet speeds are good enough to carry on a good conversation. Hope to talk with the Wheelers tomorrow evening! All is well. Tomorrow's excursion should be to San Telmo where hope to see some street tango. Hasta Luego!
