All good things...
all good things must come to an end, or so i'm told. as we reach the end of our 2nd stay here in Buenos Aires i thought i would do some recapping, some lists and random thoughts.things i love about Buenos Aires:
- our friends, the people in general. we have made some amazing friends for life and in such a short time i feel really close to so many different people here (you know who you are:). all i can say is thank you (mil gracias!)
- steak, carne, steak.... i think we've explained how good the steak is here.
- persicco our home away home:) the best ice cream in the world (and no that is not an exaggeration) plus anyplace where there is a line for ice cream at 2:30 am is doing something right.
- un cortado which is basically an espresso with a touch of steamed milk hmmmmmmm.
-aspen classic - the radio station that plays a random mix from bob marley to depeche mode.
-colectivos - the local bus system which we've previously discussed
-3-4hr dinners. just the lack of pressure on diners allows a comfortable environment where conversation flows and makes the going out to a restaurant experience completely different than anything we are used to in the u.s. some of our best times have been just sitting around talking in a restaurant and not realizing its 2am and we have been there since 10pm...
-goooooooooooool - the sights, sounds and general activity around futbol. on a sunday you can hear the shouts all over the city when one of the big clubs scores. and if you can get to a game there is nothing like it in the u.s. ( i imagine european league futbol is about the same level of craziness).
- che, que hac- ES? just the general slang and accent of the portenos - its almost a language apart and the different greetings and goodbyes are always interesting.
- clay courts - well the abundance of cheap clay tennis courts allows for a lot of opportunities for me to play which has been a lot of fun.
- well this is a quick thoughts list for now - there are many other small details of life here that we have loved and will add to later as this is a to be continued. buenos aires will always be a part of our life (maybe not 3-4month every year part) but some part nonetheless. i look forward to spending vacations here and we will miss our friends greatly - hopefully some of them will be able to make it to nyc one day for us to show them the same hospitality.
un beso enorme a todos nuestros amigos, hasta pronto!
