Jardin Japones

Yesterday (Saturday) I played some tennis in the morning with one of my new argentine friends, Claudio, very interesting guy, went to school for engineering towards the end decided he wanted to do something more meaningful with his life and is now studying int. relations – he wants to change (positively) the direction he feels argentina is going in, he also has a very interesting freddie mercury (lead singer of Queen) tattoo! we have played a few times, and today we walked home from the courts and got some breakfast (water and toast!) had a nice inter-cambio (he gets help with his english, me with spanish) at a café. Later on, Kathy and I decided to go to the Japanese gardens. We ate lunch there as well, best sushi in town, duh!! First time a sushi rest has had something other than salmon. The gardens are beautiful, serene, and if anyone has been to the japanese gardens in sf golden gate park they are very similar check out the pictures(!) the entry cost is about 1.50$ us. After some tranquility Japanese style we headed out for a walk in this chic part of town and ended up at a café (where else?) that had a nice outside couch, read the local paper, some trashy magazines, a book or so and really just a nice way to pass an afternoon sipping coffee, without any cares. I think you could sit in one of these cafes forever and not feel any obligation to leave.
