Sunday in Buenos Aires (6/22)

It’s Sunday morning in this wonderful city. Welcome…

We arrived yesterday (Saturday) afternoon and went to our new hotel, the NH Lancaster. It is a bit more European than the others which reflects the more European feel of this, our third city.

Last night, after we had checked in, rested a bit and got our bearings, we had a magnificent dinner together at the Cabana Las Lilas. For those of you have never tasted Argentine beef, it is extraordinary. And for those of us who are not beef-eaters, the food and company were excellent as well.

Today’s activities include a day-trip to an Argentine estancia (ranch) in the Pampas – some of us will go horseback riding, others will play tennis and other sports, and other will just relax and read. Definitely a good, restorative day. And yes, they’ll enjoy a traditional Argentine barbeque (a “sacred” event here) for a noontime meal.

Later on, some of us will be going to a soccer match. Unfortunately, I’m not quite feeling well, so I’m not going out today. Others will report on their adventures.


See you in the morning…
