Caliente , caliente !!! 32 degrees Celsius today

After 3 days of gorgeous and very warm wheather we like to tell you a bit about BA.
Very busy, very warm, very bustling, very many people, so many things to do and see. Wow, what a city!
The city feels very European, and more specifically very Italian. Lots of heladerias, caffe, pizzas, fresh pasta. And also in language: almost no one says ´hasta luego´ when they leave, everyone says ´ciao´. Also: we bought a ticket for the metro today, after paying and thanking the lady in the booth, she replied with ´prego´. Funny, right?

Today, we were at the Plaza de Mayo, and saw a protest by the Madres del Plaza de Mayo (Dwaze Moeders). It was easy to imagine what it must have been like some 25 to 30 years ago, during and shortly after the junta was abolished. Pretty impressive!

Afterwards, we walked through the city´s business district, with business suites and powerskirts. We felt very out of place

The neighbourhood where our appartment is (by the way: very lovely appartment, feels really like we are actually living in BA) is as you imagine BA. Many-floor buidings, in beautiful style, small shops, many bars and restaurants, open air lunches and dinners everywhere, lots of trees, many parks.

Yesterday, we were in the museum of modern art of BA, the MALBA. Nice and odd in some cases, but always interesting. And, did you know that BA has a park which is cat-capitol? Everywhere we looked, cats!

We´re really feeling a bit like we are in BA already for many weeks, and start to get the hang of it. The Netherlands are pretty much fading away...... you could say.
