Tonight was great! First I met with Venetia and Sally at La Biela at 8 pm, where we sat out on the terrace and drank a glass of champagne to celebrate the results of the US election. I didn’t take any photos there, but it was lovely to enjoy the summer evening.
Then around 9.30 pm we decided we wanted to eat. The food at La Biela is mediocre at best, so we walked down to one of our favourite haunts, El Sanjuanino, which serves the best empanadas in town. They also do good tamales, which is what we all had this time. They had tables outside, but it was starting to be a bit cool for that, so we went inside — and were greeted like long lost friends by our favourite waiter, Damian. It was lovely to be back there.
The President’s message on Friday said that Buenos Aires was in good shape and they are loosening the restrictions a bit more. The kids are going back to school, but we are still not allowed to use the buses. But going out for dinner is back on my social schedule, which I love. I wonder where I’ll eat tonight!
Yes – it is so good to go out in the evening for drinks, dinner or anything else (outside mostly) – but things are slowly opening up and the weather is getting warmer. Our Ladies Who Lunch group is getting underway and we are all enjoying getting together again in person!
I feel a bit giddy about it all!!
