¡Bienvenidos a Buenos Aires!

We arrived in Buenos Aires yesterday morning on a beautiful late winter day and had a pleasant ride into town in a new Citroën. We were at our apartment on Av Callao by about 9.30 am and met our landlord, Alfredo. Everything was just as we had left it last September.

We unpacked, had a nap, then made quick trips to the nearby Disco and Carrefour supermarkets for the necessities: bread, butter, wine, beer, milk, coffee, cheese, crackers, toilet paper. After we got that put away we had a very late lunch at La Cholita: Terri had two large brochettes of meat/onion/peppers, I had a lomo sandwich, and we split a liter of Stella Artois and a bottle of mineral water. (Total came to about $18.75 US; prices have gone up since last year.)

We're having a lazy morning of it. Until I think of something clever to write or interesting to photograph, here's the view across Av. Callao from our living room.
