• First day adventures

    February 21 in Argentina ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

    We landed in BA mid morning and quickly made our way to the Airbnb, thankfully they allowed for early check-in!

    It's a stunning penthouse overlooking the city, in Palermo, a seemingly very trendy area with so many good restaurants to try.

    We both took it easy for the first part of the day - reading and napping. Which worked out well with the Argentinian schedule:
    7-10 coffee/croissants
    1-3 lunch
    5-7 second lunch / snack / coffee ❤️
    9-12 dinner 😱

    We didn't quite adhere to this our first day but I see us being quite successful at it over the coming days, sleeping in and 4 meals a day? Yes please.

    For the day, we ventured to a wine bar, walked through a cute farmers market / art fair, had some coffee & an alfajor which was the most tasty not too sweet cookie sandwich.

    After getting some groceries and wine for the apartment we took a relax before dinner.

    Igs had the idea that we check out Crizia, a highly rated seafood place nextdoor, and see if we could get a seat w/o reservations by showing up at 7. Not mentioning that it was a 1 star Michelin restaurant,🤣 with the help of Google translate we snagged a table and had a fantastic dinner. All local seafood from around Argentina with the wine / vermouth pairing! A great surprise and a great start to our trip.
