Hola todos,
I had another semana fantástica (a fantastic week)! I've been hanging out a lot with my friend Nelson from la heladería (the ice cream shop... again, this kind of connection is great! lol). We cooked a delicious Mexican meal on Monday: chips and salsa, Argentine beef (the best), onions, jalapeños, and refried beans (ingredients which are not too common around here). It was the most delicious thing I've eaten the whole time I've been in this country! I love Mexican food. =)
This was our riquísimo taco salad.
Other than that, we've been having lots of discussions, drinking mate, and having picnics. Great summer times!
A while ago I saw a government-sponsored poster that said "Every day in Buenos Aires is like a day at the beach!" I had no idea what it was talking about until I saw the crazy stuff they did to Parque Las Heras. It's like Disneyworld around here! lol.
Oh, populism...
This is more like what the parks are normally like. (It's a photo of Parque Sarmiento.)
On Thursday I went to the acrobatic tango and milonga 8cho show again. The music and dances were great! Here are some pictures. They're blurry, but the best I managed to get!
On Friday I got my weekly dose of ice cream: cardamom, blueberry, and deep chocolate (three of my new favorites), and tons and tons of samples. ¡Qué rico! (De-li-cious!)
I also walked around the botanical gardens. Today I met a Canadian girl there. She asked me if I speak English. She suspected I did because I have "the same super-pale skin as she does." I asked her if the US seemed very much like Canada to her — she'd visited for just a few days. She said that it did, except that in Canada there aren't any billboards warning about people's damnation or advertising gun shops. Haha. She seemed pretty nice, and we might get together sometime to dance salsa.
I love the koi fish at the botanical gardens.
There are unfortunately a ton of abandoned cats in the gardens. There are signs around asking people to please not abandon their pets. =(
Con cariño,
Kaeli
