These past few nights have been quite warm in the city. The thunderstorms have been less frequent so we’ve ventured out for evening walks and drinks and dinners. Lately, we’ve been going for afternoon helados and then having picadas (nibbles) and drinks. We move from cafe to cafe, finding tables outside and lounging over cheeses and gancia or fernet (both very local drinks). It has been so nice.
Last night we went to a neighbourhood called Las Cañitas, just north of Palermo to meet a friend. Bellinis and papas fritas on a nicely lit street corner in a pretty neighbourhood of BA. So great.
I could eat all day here. ALL DAY LONG. There is an art to each meal, a lazy leisureliness that comes with some form of alcohol (whether it’s wine, or champagne or gancia). The quality of living is unbeatable.
Today, we venture downtown for some meetings and wandering in this humid heat.
