San Isidro

Last day in Buenos Aires. Had a lovely morning breakfast in the courtyard at Silvinas, learning some Spanish. A walk around the block in the sun with Silvina and the dog, admiring all the different architectural styles of the houses. Nora picked me up and we drove to San Isidro, a lovely part of town by the river, big detached houses, pavements with grass verges, felt a bit like Vancouver.
Nice fresh air. Went to a restaurant on the river where there is a distinctly Californian air. Had another yummy homemade lemonade with passion fruit and mint. Chicken sandwich and huge salad. Good potatoes are difficult to grow here, so only a couple in the salad as a delicacy!
Then the long drive back to Fontezuela. Poor Nora surviving on 3hrs sleep after taking niece to party at 12pm and picking her up at 5am!
Stopped off half way at a leather store, packed to the rafters with bridle ware and cowboy rugs, and bizarrely army surplus - shells etc.Read more
