Penguin Wine?
11. lokakuuta 2023, Argentiina ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F
Adel, apparently in BA the wine decanter is a penguin. For reasons not abundantly clear. This one looks like it was dripping blood but the wine was pretty good. Why this is a “thing” will take more research and I would buy one but it won’t last 2 plane trips. Plus Adel would never drink wine from a penguin and it made me laugh.Lue lisää

Matkaaja I have tried telling you that penguins are secretly evil things!... This is proof that they are carnivorous little bastards! that meat looks yummy tho!

Walking to Wine
12. lokakuuta 2023, Argentiina ⋅ ☀️ 59 °F
Today I came to the Palermo neighborhood for dinner before my wine tasting. I love BA for its cafe style. Restaurants everywhere and there is always movement.
The is a vibrant city and it’s always moving. Maybe it’s the 15.5M people combined with great bus/train/subway system that is about .12c ( yes twelve cents) a ride or it’s the weather. But whatever it is I’m all in.Lue lisää

A very herbal liquor mixed with coke…. Imagine hay, a handful of savory spices and coke. I’m not a fan but I’m told for many young Argentines it’s their “entry” to alcohol. I’d think it would swear them off alcohol but who am I to judge?Lue lisää

Argentine wine tasting
12. lokakuuta 2023, Argentiina ⋅ ☀️ 59 °F
Well, let’s just say I enjoyed my evening.
My favorite is the Clos de los Siete - a blend from Mendoza.

No Stop Sign or Signal
12. lokakuuta 2023, Argentiina ⋅ ☀️ 59 °F
After sitting and eating my dinner, and staring out the window at this intersection I finally saw it.
There is no signal or stop sign. The intersection has cross walks but everyone (pedestrians, cars, bike, ambulance) takes the right of way. It’s amazing to me that I didn’t see a crash. But then again it’s this way all over and these drivers used to it. YIKES!!Lue lisää

Matkaaja looks like the speed bump is pretty efficient at slowing people down, and the other people just have to "go for it"..... I would be sitting there for a month before I could cross...lol

1 Planet 1 Bag This city would be hazardous for people who are rules followers as you’d never get anywhere. I learned the rule is…You cross when you see an opening, cars go when they see an opening. In the end you hope you all don’t end up at the same place at the same time.

Long Walk -part 1
13. lokakuuta 2023, Argentiina ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F
I headed out down Olleros (here an LL is pronounced Es, so it sounds like Oceros) towards Largo de regattas. A park with a lake.
Then through the park and saw an Equestrian Club, Tennis Club, and a restaurant called Belasario Roldan. The later is a famous Argentine Steak house.
Across another park to Museo Savori (small modern art, which was closed).Lue lisää

Long Walk -part two
13. lokakuuta 2023, Argentiina ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F
I walked through a beautiful rose garden with bridges and birds and nice walking paths called Tres de Febrero Park. Many places here are named for dates I’m assuming something historic happened on that date, but they never explain.
Across the street and a walk through Ecoparque Buenos Aires. A zoo’ish area that was a combination of a park and zoo. I didn’t see many animals but I saw a few that I have never seen. And one I don’t know the name of. It looked a rabbit and deer mates and this thing was the result. I will look it up and add its name (but these things were all over the park just hopping around).
Then to the Subte (subway) and back to Olleros and a blocks walk home.
Almost 5 miles in 3 hours 49 minutes.Lue lisää

Shopping
13. lokakuuta 2023, Argentiina ⋅ ☀️ 66 °F
Today I did a market run… all the way across the street at Coto. It’s so close I can see it now as I sit on my sofa.
Here’s a photo of what I bought.
I like that sauce things (spaghetti, yogurt, mayonnaise, ketchup) come in these package with a spigot. It probably makes them easier to ship. But I’m really at a loss what to do with one After I open it. How do you reseal it so I can have more yogurt the next day.? It doesn’t stand up. I’ll have to look that up.
Grand total for today. 10,572 pesos Less than $30. It’s a bit confusing because of the exchange rate. As it fluctuates every single day.Lue lisää

China Town
14. lokakuuta 2023, Argentiina ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F
Today’s adventure took me to Buenos Aires China town. A 10 minute bus ride and then 2 miles of walking around. In reality about three blocks long. And just full of people. So much to see there that my brain was overwhelmed.Lue lisää

This must be how a bank robber feels
14. lokakuuta 2023, Argentiina ⋅ ☀️ 70 °F
This money volume feels so weird. It’s a combination of the 1,000 pesos on the bills and the sheer number of them. $173,500.00 Argentine Pesos. That’s 867 pesos to the USD. So quick math and that’s $200 USD on the table. I won’t need to exchange anymore for this part of my trip. I don’t think I could carry any more.Lue lisää

Matkaaja Is this the same pile of pesos you got on day 4? Or, did you go back and get more?

1 Planet 1 Bag This is the money I got from western union. So I have 300.00 in pesos since arrival. I think it is way too much!!
