Today is day three of the Buenos Aires holiday. So far its been blissful. We've rented an antiquiated bohemian apartment in the old town of San Telmo, around a corner of cobblestoned streets to the famous San Telmo markets, a treasure trove of antique stalls selling old typewriters, vintage clothes, leather and faded photos. It is so inspiring to be here.
Yesterday we did one of those touristy bus rides around the city, just to get a sense of the place and our orientation. The buildings are so elegant and old and the city is simply amazing. There are large patches of green spaces (the lungs of BsAs)and fabulous street art everywhere.
One of the best things about this is the chance to practise my spanish again. Although many of the words are different, eg 'aqui' is replaced with 'aca' and the accent is a little confusing. But I'm bumbling through. And communication happens.
I love a city that kicks off at 10.30 at night. We're slowly getting into the rhythm of the place. Tenemos mucho tiempo.
